Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 101. Thursday, 11 Apr 1991. Date: 10 April 91, 09:42:32 EDT From: CHESHIRE at VTVM1 Re: musical works based on Shakespearean ones, as well as the earlier "Forbidden Planet" note: "Return to the Forbidden Planet," a rock musical loosely based on "Forbidden Planet," but which borrowed lines from many of Shakespeare's plays, was showing in London last summer, and may still be, for all I know. The music was mainly '50s and '60s rock, the staging was elaborately high-tech, the Shakespearean references were outrageous, and overall it was a lot of fun.
