I’m Richard O’Brien!
The creator looked completely different compared to his days as host of The Crystal Maze.
Speaking about his new musical, Richard said he was inspired by the presence of Donald Trump.
He said The New Zealand Herald‘I was motivated to write it by the horror of Donald Trump’s presence in the world.
‘I just wanted to write something derogatory that was entertaining at the same time and take us into a fairy tale… there is a dark side to fairy tales and it couldn’t be darker than Mr. Trump’s presence in the world.’
According to the actor, the show is inspired by fairy tales such as Peter and the Wolf and Alice in Wonderland.
In the 40-minute piece, Richard narrates alongside a number of characters.
Richard will donate all proceeds from the show to Starship Children’s Hospital.
