Performed with kind permission from MTI International.

This term, our talented students are taking you on a wild musical journey with their production of Return to the Forbidden Planet. Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest and the classic 1956 sci-fi film Forbidden Planet, this Olivier Award-winning musical is packed with non-stop energy and a brilliant soundtrack of 1950s and 60s rock 'n' roll hits.

Prepare to be shipwrecked on the mysterious planet D'Illyria, where a mad scientist, a beautiful daughter, a faithful robot, and a terrifying tentacled monster await. You’ll be singing and dancing along to classics like Great Balls of Fire, Good Vibrations, Teenager in Love, Monster Mash ...and many more!

Seats are limited and our stellar cast has been working incredibly hard to bring this interstellar spectacular to life. Don't miss out on the fun—book your tickets today before they disappear into a black hole!

 Important Note: Refreshments will be available to purchase during the interval. All proceeds go directly toward supporting the school’s Performing Arts department."
