About Return to the Forbidden Planet
Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for blast off! Shakespeare’s forgotten rock and roll masterpiece is coming to The Egg Theatre this Spring!
Meet the crew of Starship Albatross, out on a routine survey flight under the command of capable Captain Tempest. When the ship crash lands on the planet D’llyria the crew comes face to face with its inhabitants - mad scientist, Doctor Prospero, his daughter Miranda and their trusty robot Ariel. But not all is as it seems… and dark secrets threaten to resurface.
This Olivier Award-winning jukebox musical is a campy concoction of Shakespeare’s the Tempest, the 1956 motion picture ‘Forbidden Planet’ and some of the most beloved 50’s and 60’s rock and roll classics. Good vibrations are guaranteed!
