Exclusive: Further casting announced for Rocky Horror sequel

Further casting has been announced for Rocky Horror sequel Shock Treatment at the King's Head Theatre, which opens on 17 April.

Joining the previously announced Julie Atherton and Rosanna Hyland will be former Neighbours star Mark Little, horror comedy duo The Twins Macabre and Ben Kerr and Mateo Oxley.

Mark Little, who will play ruthless TV executive Farley Flavors until 9 May, is known for playing Joe Mangel in Neighbours. He won an Olivier Award in 2000 for his solo show Defending the Caveman.

Mark little said: "TV executives are pushing the envelope of talent and audience manipulation to greater limits incessantly. Celebrities are starved and humiliated more and more in the jungle and the residents of Benefits Street made more and more famous. How far will TV go to manipulate the hapless general public? Shock Treatment propels the answer to this question to a cruel and sinister end game. It's exciting for this reluctant TV celebrity to be part of such an expose!"

Featuring several of the original Rocky Horror characters, Shock Treatment has music and lyrics by Richard Hartley and Richard O'Brien and is receiving its stage premiere at the King's Head Theatre.

It is directed by Benji Sperring, artistic director of Tarquin Productions, and it runs from 17 April to 6 June 2015.
