The story of Rocky Horror follows a young, engaged couple whose car breaks down near a spooky castle where they seek a telephone to call for help. The castle is homed to strange people and the couple discover the head of the house is Dr. Frank N. Furter, an apparently mad scientist who actually is an alien transvestite who creates a living muscle man named Rocky in his laboratory.

Rocky Horror is playing at the New Theatre Oxford from January 25 to January 29.

Some of the costumes included lingerie, leather jackets and glittery gold suits, in an ode to character Colombia.
