S3E44 - Chatting With Luke Wright

In this episode I chat with poet and playwright Luke Wright about finding your voice, your subject matter, and mixing politics with personal, human drama. Luke Wright is an acclaimed poet with twenty years of performance experience behind him, a slew of hit solo shows and latterly a trio of critically-acclaimed verse plays, the latest of which is THE REMAINS OF LOGAN DANKWORTH. He's also a very good friend. We talk about starting out ranting in pubs about celebrities and politicians to moving into subtler, more vulnerable work, and how what connects with you can change as you get older. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know: - how can I find my voice as a writer? - what topics can I write about? - how can I combine character with politics?
