The Remains of Logan Dankworth review – a poet for our day

Pound Arts Centre, Corsham
Luke Wright’s eloquent verse monologue pairs Brexit with the breakdown of a marriage

Luke Wright is a poet for our day and today in particular. This dramatic monologue, spoken in verse, is soaked with political – and marital – malaise. It takes us from the death of Jo Cox to Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, the EU referendum and the age of Brexit, alongside its picture of a slowly crumbling marriage.

This is the third in Wright’s trilogy of political verse plays and it is an artful cross between spoken word, standup and the soapbox. Having previously explored Thatcherism and New Labour, this one sees a character called Logan Dankworth rise from student politics to mainstream political punditry.
