Synopsis

'Where is the line between fact and fiction? Not our concern. Truth is just a commodity to be sold.'
When The Sun falsely accuses Elton John, 39, of 'sordid rent-boy sex sessions', the Rocketman blasts it with a whopping multi-million-pound lawsuit…
But for unrepentant editor Kelvin MacKenzie, 40, 'sorry' seems to be the hardest word. He launches a staggering year-long campaign of media harassment, which could break the rocker. In the end: is Elton still standing? Or does The Sun go down on him?
Based on the true story of Britain's biggest-ever libel suit, Monstering the Rocketman is a probing and provocative exploration of truth, privacy and ambition. Henry Naylor's play premiered to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025, where it received a Fringe First Award, before transferring to Arcola Theatre, London, in 2026.

    For centuries England has always had a leading and admired reputation for its poets and poetry.  In this volume we explore those born in the South-East who created such revered, enduring and respected verse.

    After retiring from a successful federal career, Danielle Spencer expected a quieter life. Instead, accepting a position with Washington, D.C.'s public school system led her into a workplace marked by fear, dysfunction, retaliation, and unsafe conditions. As she witnesses leadership failures, bureaucratic obstacles, and a culture that discourages employees from speaking out, she begins documenting what she experiences. Through Danielle's eyes, readers are taken inside an education system where appearances often outweigh accountability and both staff and students are expected to accept the status quo. MISEDUCATION: Inside DC's Education Plantation is a compelling novel exploring power, institutional culture, resilience, and the courage to challenge injustice. Blending workplace drama with social commentary, it asks a powerful question: What happens when the very system meant to educate instead teaches acceptance over accountability?
