Luke Wright Brings THE REMAINS OF LOGAN DANKWORTH To Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre

Poet Luke Wright brings a political verse play that looks at trust, fatherhood and family in the age of Brexit to Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre next month.

"I believed that Fukayama line: the end of history. But history didn't end, did it?"

Logan Dankworth, columnist and Twitter warrior, grew up romanticising the political turmoil of the 1980s. Now, as the EU Referendum looms he is determined to be in the fray of the biggest political battle for years. Meanwhile, Logan's wife Megan wants to leave London to better raise their daughter. As tensions rise at home and across the nation, something is set to be lost forever.

The show won The Saboteur Award for Best Show in 2020 and was a big hit with audiences and reviewers at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe.

Written and performed by Luke Wright, it is directed by Alex Thorpe, with dramaturgy by Sarah Dickenson. The scored by is by Polly Wright and lighting design is by Joe Price.
