‘Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire!’
5...4...3...Your chair physically shakes with the bass rumble of massive rocket engines. Smoke pours all over you. Search lights flash past your eyes. The rumble increases to fill your whole head. 2...1...An explosion of light. Out of this sensory overload, the drumming starts. Suddenly there is rhythm running through your body. The journey is underway!
Return to the Forbidden Planet is a joyful mix of genres and ideas. Touted as Shakespeare's forgotten rock and roll masterpiece, it is based loosely on The Tempest set inside a 1950s B-movie. It is bursting with 60s and 70s pop numbers including classics such as ‘Good Vibrations,’ ‘Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire,’ ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’ and ‘Born to be Wild’. The ADC will be transformed into a giant spaceship for a journey full of robots, giant monsters and asteroid attacks as the crew embark into hyperspace...
A range of free educational workshops exploring the links between the show and The Tempest are available. Contact info@adctheatre.com for more details.

Return to the Forbidden Planet's Friend Space (Top 16)
We’re brand new to MYSPACE and would like to thank you for the overwhelmingly positive response to our independent film. We made a rock musical of the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde story, heavily inspired by THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW with a few thousand dollars and a handful of very talented actors and artists. We had no big (or small) studio behind us and no rich uncle. We’re very proud of our little movie and grateful for the interest generated on Myspace. Many of you have asked where to purchase the DVD. Cut and paste the link below to receive a special low price for all our Myspace friends at our Amazon store.
We’d also like to extend a special thanks to LANA NOW FELL and DAN GARNER for helping us get started on Myspace. Please check out their sites and great music as well.
Thanks!
Alan Bernhoft, (Writer & Producer)
