Rocky Horror Show
It's 40 years since the opening of a comedy musical which would become a cult phenomenon.
Forty years ago, a low-budget comedy musical called the Rocky Horror Show had its opening night at a tiny London theatre. To the surprise of his creators, the antics of a transexual transvestite from Transylvania soon became a cult hit and then a Hollywood film. Richard O'Brien, the writer of the Rocky Horror Show, talks to Witness.
