We all want something to believe in. It\u2019s 1987 and Frankie Vah gorges on love, radical politics, and skuzzy indie stardom. But can he keep it all down?<\/p>\n
Following the multi-award-winning What I Learned From Johnny Bevan<\/em>, Luke Wright\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Written and performed by Fringe First & Stage Award for Acting Excellence winner, Luke Wright.<\/p>\n “Wright is a clever playwright and a charismatic performer \u2026 Frankie Vah is all the richer for its political and poetical layers \u2026 Wright succeeds in finding new and beautiful ways of expressing the everyday.” The Guardian<\/p>\n “Brilliant script \u2026 sheer linguistic virtuosity and sweaty magnetism.” \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 Time Out<\/p>\n “It\u2019s absolutely mesmerizing: the lyrical, musical push and pull, the perfect detonation of sharp consonants and stretchy vowels.” Exeunt<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13 September | Marlowe Studio, Canterbury<\/p>\n 20 September | Pontadarwe Arts Centre, Swansea<\/p>\n 21 September | Theatre Shop, Clevedon<\/p>\n 22 September | Barbican Theatre, Plymouth<\/p>\n 28 September | Vestry Hall, Cranbrook<\/p>\n 3 October | Colchester Arts Centre<\/p>\n 5 October | Bridport Arts Centre<\/p>\n 7 October | Cheltenham Literature Festival<\/p>\n 10 October | Wickham Theatre, Bristol<\/p>\n 11 October | The Old Market, Brighton<\/p>\n 17 October | Key Theatre, Peterborough<\/p>\n 30 October | The Peacock, Sunderland<\/p>\n 3 November | Labour Club, Merthyr Tydfil<\/p>\n 8 November | Lighthouse, Poole<\/p>\n 25 November | Derby Poetry Festival<\/p>\n 29 November | Storyhouse, Chester<\/p>\n 30 November | Perch, Bicester<\/p>\n 5 December | Metrenome, Nottingham<\/p>\n 6 December | Stamford Arts Centre<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
