Take off for a wild ride across the galaxy! "Return To The Forbidden Planet" is Shakespeare's long-lost rock-n'-roll musical, marrying "The Tempest" with familiar songs from the 50's, 60's & 70's. Familiar hits like "Good Vibrations", "Teenager In Love", "Great Balls of Fire" and "The Monster Mash" balance a script culled from almost every play by William Shakespeare, and a sprinkling of 1950's 'B-movie' sci-fi inspired by "The Forbidden Planet". For a fantastic voyage (and a really great time), "Return To The Forbidden Planet" is theatre that is sure to please!
