The Official Rocky Horror Late Night Double Feature celebrates the cult classic like never before, with this two-volume set featuring the original theatrical script with rare images of the original cast, and an oral history of the Rocky Horror Picture Show phenomenon featuring never-before-seen archival material from its creator (and original Riff-Raff), Richard OβBrien.
In 1973, in a tiny upstairs theatre in London, a sweet transvestite in fishnets, platform heels, and a corset strutted on stage and tossed off his cape, and our world was never the same. Now, for the first time, show creator Richard OβBrien opens his archives to give an unprecedented look at the origins of Frank n Furter and Rocky Horror in this unique and stunning two-volume set.
It Was Great When It All Began: The Original Annotated Theatrical Script
Before the cult movie classic, there was the cult stage show. See where it all began with this original 1973 theatrical script, presented in all its Rocky Horror glory. Production notes, stage directions, and the script with lyrics are accompanied by rare performance images of the 1973 London and 1974 Roxy (Los Angeles) casts. Remembrances from cast members and an archival piece written by Richard OβBrien with insights on what makes a winning Rocky Horror stage performance put you in the front row of that little London theatre. And because todayβs theatrical performances take a page from the movie, the book also features a Virginβs Guideβa complete theatrical script notated with the classic audience callbacks and partici...pation.
