“The production on this badge was, I think, the second or third staging of Rocky Horror by the Library Theatre at the Forum. The first time was in 1983, around May. I was with the Library Theatre on a student placement and got to work on it. There was a huge fuss made about opening night as they had managed to persuade Richard O'Brien to come and attend the first night. He arrived wearing what I remember to be quite an outfit. Pretty sure he had gold glitter trousers on.
I was working on the merchandise stall that night and he came to get a programme, T shirt and a badge and quite naturally, walked away without paying for them. I still laugh to myself at the idea of Richard O'Brien walking around Wythenshawe.”
