24/10/1990

By Richard O'Brien
Directed by Doug Clarke
Musical Directors: Bin Williams & Jo Cherry
Choreographer: Justine Walker

Season: 24 October - 4 November 1990

Continuing from The Rocky Horror Show, Brad and Janet Majors are now married. The action takes place in the town of Denton, USA, which has been taken over by fast food magnate Farley Flavors.  The town of Denton is entirely encased within a television studio for the DTV (Denton Television) network.  Residents are either stars and regulars on a show, cast and crew, or audience members.  Brad and Janet, seated in the audience, are chosen to participate in the game show Marriage Maze by the kooky, supposedly blind host Bert Schnick.  As a "prize", Brad is imprisoned on Dentonvale, a soap opera that centres upon the local mental hospital run by brother and sister Cosmo and Nation McKinley.

Janet is given a taste of showbiz as Farley moulds her into a singing diva superstar in an attempt to take her away from Brad.  Her compliance is assured through the use of drugs supplied by the McKinleys.  Betty Hapschatt and Judge Oliver Wright investigate Farley and other people involved in DTV and eventually discover that Cosmo and Nation are not doctors, but merely deranged character actors, and Farley Flavors is Brad's jealous, long-lost twin brother, seeking to destroy Brad and take Janet for himself. The pair rescue Brad from Dentonvale and have him confront his twin on his show Faith Factory.  Farley imprisons the three and Janet, but they manage to escape in a car along with a local band while the remainder of Denton's citizens follow Farley and commit themselves to Dentonvale.
