RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET
(a jukebox musical)
by BOB CARLTON
(with a lot of guidance from WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE)
In this crazy-quilt starship musical, loosely based on Shakepeare’s The Tempest, and the M-G-M 1956 sci-fy classic The Forbidden Planet, a spaceship, helmed by Captain Tempest, makes an emergency landing on the uncharted planet D’illyria. In residence is Mad Scientist Doctor Prospero who was banished into hyperspace with his infant daughter Miranda. Featuring rock-and-roll hits of the 50s and 60s, a B-movie atmosphere, and dialogue 450 years old, RTTFP is Shakespeare’s lost rock and roll masterpiece and winner of the 1990 Olivier Award for Best Musical.
