Richard O'Brien to return to 'The Rocky Horror Show'
Richard O'Brien, famous for writing and starring in the original 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' will take on the role of narrator for 11 live shows, including UK wide cinema screening.
Richard O'Brien, is not only the well-known presenter from 'The Crystal Maze' but also famous for writing and starring in the original 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. He originally played Riff Raff, but will take on the role of The Narrator for 11 appearances.
The story centres on a young engaged couple, Janet and Brad, who seek a telephone to call for help when their car breaks down, and they stumble upon a castle featuring guests in elaborate costumes. The head of the house, Frank N. Furter, is an alien transvestite who creates a living muscle man in his laboratory and it's safe to say, things get weird. Originally panned, the film has gained a massive following over the years and fans will be excited that the creator will once again join the cast.
To celebrate 20 years of the cult classic, O'Brien will appear in the live show from September 11th-19th at the Playhouse Theatre in London. However if you can't make the show there will be a charity cinema screening on the 17th September at 6.45pm for UK audiences.
See the trailer below.
Tickets for O'Brien's 11 dates go on sale 31st July 2015.
