Marina Verzoni

I was born in Milan on June 14, 1970.
It all began when I went to the cinema "Mexico" in Milan with a friend of mine, Patrizia, to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and we startded interacting and talking back to the screen; some months later, at the beginning of 1991, we decided to dress up.
The first time I saw the Rocky Horror Show alive on stage at theatre in Milan was back in 1990. I remember being fascinated by the show and particularly by an English actor, Mark Seymour, who played the role of Riff Raff.
So when I started going to see every single week RHPS at "Mexico" I dressed up as Riff Raff and played this part.
There we met Luca and we decided to for the first and only Italian group: Patrizia and me started by working on our space outfits. I played Riff Raff until October, 1992. In that period I became also the Usherette during "Science fiction/Double feature".
Since 1992 I have been playing the role of the Usherette and Columbia in the Diabolical Plan cast.
I love the part of Columbia: what I really like is the energy it gives me when I am on stage. But Riff Raff and Mark will always be in my heart ...
