FRANKIE VAH by Luke Wright (Autumn Tour Trailer 1) HD

From Frankie Vah by Luke Wright. We all want something to believe in. It’s 1987 and Frankie Vah gorges on love, radical politics, and dirty indie stardom. But can he keep it all down? Following the multi-award-winning What I Learned From Johnny Bevan, Luke Wright’s second verse play deals with love, loss, and belief, against a backdrop of skuzzy indie venues and 80s politics. Expect frenetic guitars, visceral verse, and a Morrissey-sized measure of heartache. Written and performed in deft verse by this Fringe First & Stage Award for Acting Excellence winner. “Wright is a clever playwright and a charismatic performer … Frankie Vah is all the richer for its political and poetical layers … Wright succeeds in finding new and beautiful ways of expressing the everyday.” The Guardian “Brilliant script … sheer linguistic virtuosity and sweaty magnetism.” ★★★★ Time Out “It’s absolutely mesmerizing: the lyrical, musical push and pull, the perfect detonation of sharp consonants and stretchy vowels.” Exeunt 2018 TOUR DATES 13 September Marlow Studio, Canterbury 20 September Pontadarwe Arts Centre, Swansea 21 September Theatre Shop, Clevedon 22 September Barbican Theatre, Plymouth 28 September Vestry Hall, Cranbrook 3 October Colchester Arts Centre 5 October Bridport Arts Centre 7 October Cheltenham Literature Festival 10 October Wickham Theatre, Bristol 11 October The Old Market, Brighton 17 October Key Theatre, Peterborough 30 October The Peacock, Sunderland 3 November Labour Club, Merthyr Tydfil 8 November Lighthouse, Poole 25 November Derby Poetry Festival 29 November Storyhouse, Chester 30 November Perch, Bicester 5 December Metrenome, Nottingham 6 December Stamford Arts Centre
