Luke Wright: JOY

Luke Wright returns to Chelmsford Theatre with a new set of poems that get to grips with the idea of joy. Is it possible, as a 42 year old, to feel pure unbridled happiness and what does it look like?

The French novelist Henry de Montherlant said that ‘happiness writes white’ but Wright’s not exactly starting with a blank page. With a unique blend of comic and wistful, JOY takes on consumerism, boozing, cancer scares, abseiling vicars and the joy of language itself. We might have to go down to come up, but we will all get there in the end.

Come let a little joy into your life with a raconteur and wordsmith at the top of his game.
