Luke Wright's "Yes" an evening with at The Attic Southampton - Thursday 16th September 

Luke Wright used to think he had the answers. Now he's not so sure.

An evening of poetry with Luke Wright 

As children grow up, heroes become more complicated and old certainties begin to wobble, Fringe First winner Luke Wright finds himself looking again: at the country he lives in, the people he loves, and even those he thought he'd already made his mind up about.

Part poetry, part stand-up Yes. is about changing your mind without losing your convictions – and staying open in an increasingly entrenched world.
