Return to the Forbidden Planet is an award winning Rock 'n' Roll musical that has been wowing audiences for over 18 years now and is getting stronger and stronger and is appealing to a wider than ever fan base.
The show is the brainchild of Bob Carlton and is loosely based on the 1956 film Forbidden Planet and integrates the great works of Shakespeare and the hits of the fifties. The plot is based upon The Tempest and a brief synopsis of the show goes like this:
On a stormy night way back in the winter of 2009, mad scientist Doctor Prospero worked late into the night in his laboratory, aided only by his wife Gloria as he developed the elusive formula with which he would change the world.
Unbeknown to Doctor Prospero, his wife, Gloria overpowered him and sent him into hyperspace in an old shuttlecraft. Little did she know that due to cutbacks in the laboratory their infant daughter Miranda was aboard that shuttlecraft, and was catapulted light years into the future with her father.
Many years later, a routine survey flight, Intergalactic Starship Albatross, takes off under the watchful command of Captain Tempest. Aboard this flight is the new Science Officer, a strong willed woman if you ever did meet! Also on board are the Damage Control Crew, Bosun Arras, the all round good guy, the Navigation Officer, who knows where they are going and Cookie, the ships cook, a hopeless romantic.
As the spaceship blasts its way through space, it encounters a storm of asteroids, the Science Officer flees taking the only emergency shuttle craft. Meanwhile the Albatross is being pulled inexorably towards the Planet D'Illyria, which is not marked on their charts.
