“Those doors would open every night revealing Frank N Furter and the audience would go

nuts, and I just had to remind myself that the audience is going nuts for Frank N Furter

they’re not going nuts for Craig McLachlan.” — C2

In this episode, Michael Cain and Craig McLachlan examine the allegations and charges

brought against him in relation to his castmate, known as C2. After this cast member was

passed over for a principal role in 2015 and was again unsuccessful in 2017 auditions, should

her fury over not being cast have been directed at Craig McLachlan, and should that have

been a major consideration for the press, the police, and the Magistrate?

We explore the legal and procedural questions: How and why can the police add multiple

charges after the initial ones? Why is the credibility of the complainant not weighed,

especially after three drafts of a statement become increasingly detailed and inflammatory?

Why wasn’t archival footage of the show considered or subpoenaed, and how is it that, even

years later, not even the complainant’s husband could corroborate her story?

Join us for this deeply perplexing episode and consider the “brave and honest” label the

Magistrate publicly attached to the case.
