Photographs and footage that were taken whilst on the tour and emailed to Craig all those years ago reveal a cheeky and irreverent friendship between them and an obvious mucking around backstage mentality.

A backstage culture which I suggest was much more extreme than the Rocky Horror Show of 2014.

Photographs exist of Craig and C1 in over-the-top, mock, provocative poses.

These were shown in court during the civil matter, including numerous images featuring her bending over in front of her then-boyfriend whilst he holds her skirt up, topless shots of her and her castmates, nothing unusual in the backstage of a musical theatre show.

but certainly acts that wouldn't necessarily occur or be acceptable in a post office or a bank.

Tasteless?

Perhaps.

Funny?

Yes, well, at least to the cast and people involved.

Harmless?

Most definitely, yes.

Note well, in an article published online in July of 2018, C1 described herself as being an introvert.

C1 and Craig's paths next crossed again professionally in 2014, when they were both cast in the 2014 Rocky Horror Show Australian Tour.

Craig was to star as Frankenfurter, the transsexual from Transylvania, and C1 was cast in the leading female role, Janet.

During the rehearsal period in December of 2013, I was told about how difficult and disrespectful C1 had been to the international director and that she had been behaving in an extremely rude and discourteous manner.

The people who spoke to me included people in high positions of employment within the production company.

In fact, early in the rehearsal process, there was a moment when it looked as though she would be removed from the production.

I am unable to divulge more so as to protect people's identities.

But Craig, in true Craig fashion, stuck up for her, spoke of how he would make sure she was okay, that he believed she would come around and that her attitude would improve.

Give her a second chance.
