Henry Naylor speaks to Jane Bradley after receiving his Scotsman Fringe First Award

Monstering the Rocketmanbr br Pleasance Dome, 4.10pm, until 24 Augustbr br What we said: “Henry Naylor’s latest play is brilliantly entertaining and rivetingly well-told monologue about The Sun newspaper of the early 1980’s,and its vicious campaign of vilification against gay rock star Elton John, whom it accused - on very slender evidence - of a series of hideously exploitative relationships with young boys. It’s an ugly story, but one that, exhilaratingly, ends on a far more hopeful note than many at the time expected; and that stands as both a vital historical record and a warning, as new waves of intolerance begin to target groups even more vulnerable than gay men were, back in those days of Section 28, and the early years of the AIDS epidemic.
