Rocky Horror with a shadow cast is a different film from Rocky Horror at home: Bit of Mustard performs the whole thing live in front of the screen while the audience answers back. Art Theatre's single 1920s auditorium on Retro Row is the right size for it, and the late seating means the room is entirely people who chose to be there at midnight.
What to expect
A late-night participation screening with a live shadow cast, callbacks from the audience and a room that treats the film as a script rather than a movie.
Good to know
