A joyful and wild ride through the tale of the cultural juggernaut that is The Rocky Horror Picture Show, from its humble origins as a London fringe theatre play to becoming the biggest cult film of all time. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, Strange Journey explores what makes the play and film so singular: its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings, which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized.
