Monstering The Rocketman at Arcola Theatre

Based on the true story of Britain’s biggest ever libel case, this multi award winning sell out smash makes its London premiere at the Arcola Theatre.

➕ About Monstering The Rocketman
Set in the explosive media landscape of the 1980s, Monstering The Rocketman charts the extraordinary legal battle between global pop icon Elton John and Britain’s most notorious tabloid.

After The Sun publishes false allegations about his private life, Elton fights back with a multi million pound libel lawsuit. What follows is a brutal year long campaign of intimidation, distortion, and press power at its most ruthless.

This gripping solo play explores fame, truth, and the cost of standing up to an institution that refuses to be held accountable.

This production is recommended for ages 14+
