Later Life Letter – Luke Wright

Thu 15 October, 2026 at 7:00 pm

Later Life Letter is a poetry memoir – the story of Luke Wright’s adoption. A later life letter details a child’s journey from birth to adoption. When Luke received his later life letter from his social worker as a teenager, he didn’t think much of it. But now he re-examines his past, the life he leads and the life he might have had. What’s it like to stumble across your birth mother on Facebook? How do you honour the parents who have raised you while satisfying a curiosity about where you came from?

Luke performs poems and stand-up with the wit, pathos and silliness that has made him one of the most popular live poets in the UK. Expect laughter, tears and a little smattering of drum n bass.

Luke Wright has performed his poems all over the world. He has made fifteen solo shows, three plays and published five collections and six pamphlets

“Luke Wright and this time it’s personal. A highly original idea, expertly carried out.” – John Cooper Clarke
