Malahide School Prepares For Musical
Monday, 25 January 2010 12:57
Transition Year students from Malahide Community School are getting ready for their musical “Return to the Forbidden Planet”. The plot follows the crew of a routine survey flight under the command of Captain Tempest. Their spaceship is drawn mysteriously to the planet D’Illyria where mad scientist, Doctor Prospero and his lovely daughter Miranda are marooned. The high energy show features a bevy of 1950s and 1960s rock and roll classics, performed on stage by the cast. The campy sci-fi setting consists of silvered space suit costumes and space ship sets concealing keyboards and drums. The robot, Ariel, is performed by an actor on roller skates, with a costume reminiscent of the original movie’s Robby the Robot. The show will run from 27th to 30th January with doors opening at 6:30pm. |
