What I Learned From Johnny Bevan returns to The Fringe

Luke Wright in What I Learned From Johnny Bevan. After taking the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe by storm, Luke Wright's What I Learned From Johnny Bevan returns to The Fringe for one week only from 21 - 27 August 2017 at Underbelly, Belly Button (Venue 61) at 12 noon each day. Wright's play is a compelling, politically charged story encompassing shattered friendships, class and social ceilings, and The Labour Party’s battle for its soul. At university the whip-smart, mercurial Johnny Bevan saves Nick, smashing his comfortable middle class bubble and firing him up about politics, music and literature. Twenty years later, as their youthful dreams disintegrate alongside the social justice they hoped for, can Nick, now a jaded music journalist, save Johnny from himself? A gripping modern fable, What I Learned From Johnny Bevan strikes at the heart of British politics. Questioning the rise of of David Cameron's brand of Conservatism and New Labour, this gripping story reflects the disillusionment felt by so many.

Directed by Joe Murphy, the show recieved a Fringe First for the quality of writing and Wright recieved a Stage Award for Acting Excellence.
