Thursday 17 April 2025 Venue:  Salisbury Arts Centre     map   Poetry Address:   Bedwin Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 3UT Telephone:  Box office: 01722 320 333 Event:  Luke Wright: JOY! - 7.30pm - Following the smash hit success of his Silver Jubilee show Luke Wright returns with a new set 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 mix of the of the comic and the wistful, JOY takes in consumerism, boozing, cancer scares, abseiling vicars, and the joy of language itself. We might have to go down to come up, but we’ll get there in the end. Come let a little joy into your life with a raconteur and wordsmith at the top of his game.
