Luke Wright's Silver Jubilee

Crack out the bunting!

Over 25 years, Luke Wright has built up a reputation as one of Britain’s most popular live poets. This year he tries to celebrate his Jubilee but ends up taking a deep dive into himself, throwing up questions about class, privilege and his adoption.

Wright was adopted as a baby and grew up believing that his adoption “wasn’t a big thing.” But one night he idly stumbled across his birth mother on Facebook. This window to a world that might have been his throws up deep questions about privilege, familial love, and destiny.
