BRATTLEBORO — Let's do the Time Warp ... again!
The Latchis Theatre hosts its annual showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Thursday, Oct. 29. The event starts with live music by Lobotomobile at 9 p.m., followed by the film at 10 p.m.
This 1975 musical comedy horror film directed by Jim Sharman has remained a cult favorite since it was released 40 years ago.
The screenplay was written by Sharman and Richard O'Brien, based on the 1973 musical stage production, The Rocky Horror Show, music, book, and lyrics by O'Brien. The production is a satirical tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through early 1970s. The film stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick, along with cast members from the original Royal Court Theatre, Roxy Theatre, and Belasco Theatre productions.
In its 40 years, Rocky Horror has been a participatory event, and Latchis audience members are encouraged to come in costume and to bring dry props – please leave the wet stuff at home.
