Sane Inside Insanity - The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror

Having made its stage debut in 1973 as The Rocky Horror Show (recently performed at Dublin’s Bord Gáis Theatre) and this year celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the big screen adaptation, Richard O’Brien’s creation, a still unique blend of musical, horror, sci-fi, comedy, sex, and nostalgia can lay claim to being the world’s most successful and beloved cult entertainment without ever sacrificing its defiant place in the margins. The history of its ascent from its debut in a small London theatre to its current status as multimillion dollar industry, the highs, lows, and questionable decisions made along the way, and its genuine, meaningful impact on the lives of its devotees are all chronicled in Andreas Zerr’s entertaining and enjoyable documentary, sure to leave viewers wanting to do the Time Warp again.
