Return to the Forbidden Planet

Join Captain Tempest and the crew of the starship ‘Albatross’ as they encounter devastating meteor storms, battle evil scientists and reverse the polarity of the neutron flow to a truly alarming degree. See a robot man play hot rock ‘n’ roll on a space guitar! Hear the roar of a planet-sized beastie with more teeth than brain cells! Smell the unmistakable tang of plasma beams and peppermint bubble gum! Feel the unrequited love of a lowly cook for an intergalactic cheerleader! Taste the excitement as life goes crazy for a group of star cadets trapped in a tin can, billions of miles from home! With influences ranging from early 60’s Sci-fi Americana to Shakespeare, classic rock ‘n’ roll to Star Wars, this musical extravaganza is a life-affirming trip into the unknown delivered at warp speed by a cast of talented young actors and musicians from all over the country. Using diverse theatrical and cinematic techniques including puppetry, projection, model work and computer animation, they will bring this incredible production to life in just one weekend. That’s right, an entire show conceived, rehearsed and performed in the time it takes most companies to decide on a colour scheme. Faith, hope & gaffertape are back with their most ambitious and explosive show ever. In space, no one can hear you rock out!
