I caught up with the writer Richard O'Brien to break a few conversational taboos.
What a lovely chap Richard O' Brien is. When answering the telephone to discuss the interview, one could be forgiven for thinking it was royalty on the other end. His relaxed but in no way complacent articulation is infectious and elegant, and could make even Gordon Ramsay calm down.
It's been over 35 years now since the original Rocky Horror Picture Show film was released, and Richard's legacy is still reigning the world of theatre.
