TOP REVIEWS
- ★★★★
Henry Naylor doesn’t hold back in his latest Fringe offering, an entertaining monologue in which he examines The Sun’s treatment of Elton John in the 1980s… Naylor tells the tale through the eyes of a keen young reporter hoping to make his mark.. …a riveting tale involving celebrity excess, the Aids crisis and press ethics.’
THE ARTS DESK - ★★★★★
a fast-paced dramatisation of one victim of 1980s tabloid cruelty… …a riveting performance that reminds us that claims of a golden age of good journalism before social media are a misrepresentation of history.
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE - ★★★★
‘Henry Naylor is a triple Fringe First winner, and it is not hard to see why. This is precisely the sort of important piece that proves why the Fringe needs to exist.. …a strong performance, scaffolded by what is clearly a personal campaign to tackle the injustices meted out by the fourth estate’
BROADWAY BABY - ★★★★
The Eight Best Plays to See at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe ‘Impressive… tackling major topical subject matter… ..casts a lacerating eye on scoop-chasing impetuosity.. A solo tour de force.’
