In 1980, two different interpretations of the musical were staged in Germany. The first production, an un-authorized staging directed by Walter Bockmayer, opened on 20 January 1980 at the Grillo-Theater in Essen and was said to deviate greatly from previous productions in regards to characterisation, costuming and set design. Frank-N-Furter was played by the American guest star Decoven C. Washington, who thus became the first black man to embody the main antagonist.
