In 1973, in a tiny upstairs theater in London, a sweet transvestite in fishnets, platform heels, and a corset strutted on stage and tossed off his cape—and the world was never the same. Now, for the first time, show creator Richard O’Brien opens his archives to provide 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 full script with lyrics are accompanied by rare performance images from the 1973 London and 1974 Roxy (Los Angeles) casts. Remembrances from cast members and an archival piece written by Richard O’Brien offer insights into what makes a winning Rocky Horror stage performance. You’ll feel like you’re in the front row of that little London theater. And because today’s stage productions often reflect the movie, the book also includes a Virgin’s Guide—a complete theatrical script annotated with classic audience callbacks and partici . . . pation.
Strange Journey: The Illustrated Oral History of Rocky Horror
Rocky Horror’s strange journey began onstage, but the full story is much more.
