Riff Raff Rules! is a post-punk musical representing life in London’s East End. The poster uses the bright colours and bold graphics that were iconic in the 1980s. Unfortunately, the production itself received lukewarm reviews and did not manage to gather a cult following like its contemporary production, The Rocky Horror Show.
