Mark your calendars! On the 8th and 9th of March, Durham School pupils will be performing "Return to the Forbidden Planet" at the renowned Gala Theatre in Durham. Tickets are on sale now and all are invited to embark on this intergalactic adventure.

The toe-tapping musical, filled with 50s and 60s rock and roll classics, is loosely based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and promises an unforgettable experience for all ages. Featuring an exceptionally talented cast, this production boasts two members of the National Youth Theatre in lead roles, (Zac H and Adam S) adding a dynamic and youthful energy to the stage. Playing the female lead, Miranda, is a National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) award winner (Emily K).

Amy Brownlee, our Director of Drama & Theatre here at Durham School said:

"We are thrilled to present 'Return to The Forbidden Planet' to the North East community. This production has been a labour of love for our dedicated cast and crew, and we can't wait to transport the audience to an alien world filled with music, excitement, and the occasional B-Movie monster! It's a fusion of classic literature and contemporary flair that promises an out-of-this-world experience for everyone."

Rehearsals are in full swing, and anticipation is building for this celestial adventure!
