1944: Home Fires archiveThe idol and the thug: well-known Queer Ivor Novello was the most successful composer and matinee idol of the 30s and 40s. In 1944 he was banged up in Wormwood Scrubs for fiddling his petrol coupons. He shared a cell with a homophobe: 20-year-old 'Mad' Frankie Fraser, the terror of South London gangland. What could possibly go wrong? This almost-true story explores class war, electric shock treatment, the nature of masculinity - and how to rebuild a life you think is in ruins.
