[edit] School Show
The school show to be performed in March 2007 is entitled Return to the Forbidden Planet staring a student-cast.
The plot follows the crew of a routine survey flight under the command of Captain Tempest which is drawn mysteriously to the planet D'Illyria where mad scientist Doctor Prospero and his lovely daughter Miranda are marooned. The high energy show features a bevy of 1950s and 1960s rock and roll classics, performed on stage by the cast. The campy sci-fi setting is constructed of silvered space suit costumes and space ship sets concealing keyboards and drums. The show's dialogue derives considerable humour from a peppering of Shakespearean quotations, allusions and puns, including Captain Tempest's line "Two beeps, or not two beeps?".
Songs in the show include the Beach Boy's classic Good Vibrations, Gary Puckett's Young Girl and the Zombie's 60's hit She's Not There.
The show will be performed on Wednesday March 21st, Thursday March 22nd and Friday March 23rd with tickets costing £6 for adults and £3 for concessions.
