Product Description
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 our world was never the same. Now, for the first time, show creator Richard O’Brien opens his archives to give an unprecedented look at the origins 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 O’Brien with insights on what makes a winning Rocky Horror stage performance put you in the front row of that little London theater.
And because today’s theatrical performances take a page from the movie, the book also features a Virgin’s Guide—a complete theatrical script notated with the classic audience callbacks and partici . . . pation.
Strange Journey: The Illustrated Oral History of Rocky Horror
Rocky Horror's strange journey may have begun with the stage show, but the entire story is so much more. Based on the groundbreaking documentary Strange Journey by Richard’s son, Linus O’Brien, this official oral history tells Rocky Horror’s story from its origins onstage to its cultural influence today.
Never-before-seen images and ephemera from Richard O’Brian’s personal archives are accompanied by new interviews and insights with cast and crew including Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon, shadow cast performers, and of course, Richard O’Brien himself. Stars such as Trixie Mattel discuss the profound impact Rocky Horror has had on them and on the LGBTQ+ community.
Packed with fascinating stories, rare images, and never-before-seen ephemera, Strange Journey: The Illustrated Oral History of Rocky Horror paints a picture of how this cult movie became a cultural phenomenon.
