King's Theatre, Glasgow
The Rocky Horror Half-a-Show

"Half a Show?" I hear you cry.

Having booked all our seats months in advance, I ended up having to work on the night of the show, and tried without success to sell my ticket on.

I resigned myself to meeting the gang in the Griffin after I finished, but when I got there the pub was empty. Then I remembered that Martin had called to tell me about the fire alarm that delayed the show.

I still had my ticket, so I ran over to the theatre and managed to get into my seat in time for Eddie's Teddy.

So yes, Half a Show. (thinking about it, probably nearer a Third but that's not as catchy.)

A fairly ordinary looking Jack this guy, though I do like his staff - nice twirly carving going on there. And an interesting pseudo Greek influence on his braces.

Given that so many of my cards have "table-cloths" for backs, I just loved when I flipped this baby over. "Every Little Thing Helps" - what on earth does that have to do with bloody dolphins?!?!
