Other Interesting Points about The Wright Stuff

More than 50,000 young people have experienced the Wright Stuff since the year 2000.

Steve Wright, artistic director of The Wright Stuff, has created well over 50 original characters to address issues surrounding drugs, sex, alcohol, family life and teenage problems.

His puppets have appeared in a wide variety of venues ranging from classrooms and village halls to the West End stage.

Steve is a self-taught puppeteer who worked alongside five other artists to form The Wright Stuff, which is based in Huddersfield.

He started working with young people after Kirklees Youth Services asked him to put on summer puppet workshops. He has since created several humorous productions aimed at young people.

“The pieces we do are big on laughs with lots of street characters," Steve said. "It creates a great atmosphere and, after the performance, it's easy to discuss those issues around that character."
