About the event

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for blast off! Kaleidoscope Players are proud to present Return To The Forbidden Planet – the jukebox musical where the many works of Shakespeare are paired with a fabulous rock ‘n’ roll score to create a fun-filled, jiving-in-the-aisles performance.

Loosely based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and the 1956 sci-fi classic film Forbidden Planet, the story starts with a spaceship, helmed by Captain Tempest, making an emergency landing on the uncharted planet D’Illyria. The only residents there are the mad scientist Doctor Prospero, his daughter Miranda, and their robot Ariel. They were banished into hyperspace when Miranda was just a baby, and she has known no other world than this.

Featuring rock ‘n’ roll hits of the 50s and 60s (Great Balls of Fire, The Monster Mash, Good Vibrations, to name just a few) and dialogue in iambic pentameter, Return to the Forbidden Planet is Shakespeare’s unwritten rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece. Throw in a roller-skating robot, unrequited love, and a scary space monster, and you’ve got one heck of a show!
