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.
In conversation with writer and broadcaster, Natalie Wheen Wayne Sleep will convey the many moving and laugh-out-loud stories and gossip on his way to success, fulfilment and love.
