An evening with Wayne Sleep

Location

Chorleywood Memorial Hall, Common Road, Chorleywood, Rickmansworth, WD3 5LN

Event description

Join legendary ballet dancer and entertainer Wayne Sleep, as we look back on the extraordinary times he's lived through.

Wayne Sleep has danced with ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, partied with Freddie Mercury and performed with Princess Diana, becoming her close friend.

Behind the glitz and glamour, Wayne has always felt like an outsider. Sleep reveals the difficulties for a working-class, gay man in handling the prejudices of his generation and living through the Aids epidemic. Wayne was also the shortest principal dancer in the Royal Ballet - he had to spin twice as fast and jump twice as high to succeed.

In this moving - but also laugh-out-loud and gossip filled - memoir, Wayne Sleep shows how he danced his way to success, fulfilment and love, overcoming obstacles and prejudice along the way.
