Bridport Literary Festival: Special Event with Wayne Sleep

Wayne Sleep in conversation with Natalie Wheen.

WAYNE SLEEP is undoubtedly one of our nation’s treasures – a legendary dancer and entertainer.

In his memoire: JUST DIFFERENT, Wayne looks back on the extraordinary times he has lived through. In spite of dancing with ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, partying with Freddie Mercury and dancing with Princess Diana, who became a close friend, Wayne Sleep has always felt like an outsider. Behind the glitz and glamour, he reveals the difficulties for a working-class, gay man in handling the prejudices of his generation and living through the Aids epidemic.
