Return to the Forbidden Planet

by Bob Carlton

Join Captain Tempest when he finds his ship stranded on planet D'Illyria, inhabited by the mysterious Dr. Prospero, his daughter Miranda, and his robot servant, Ariel. Interweaving many of the greatest songs of the fifties and sixties like "Good Vibrations" and "Great Balls of Fire" with the classic sci-fi film The Forbidden Planet and Shakespeare's The Tempest, Return to the Forbidden Planet is sure to delight fans of last year's hit Two Gentlemen of Verona.
