| Other Info | Luke Wright's Cynical Ballads Eight Caustic Tales from Broken Britain In his brand new show, Luke shines his light on obese teenagers, jaded chip shop proprietors and posh twits with the luck of the devil, as he leads us through the run down shopping precincts and airless television studios of modern Britain. Each poem is backed by macabre projected illustrations as Luke makes mincemeat of his anti-heroes with rollicking, darkly comic verse. Expect screaming tabloids, suicide and lashings of Bollinger in a show that will shock and delight. "He must be on some kind of dope" John Cooper Clarke "Cool poems" Patti Smith "The best young performance poet around." The Observer |
