Five of the Best: Purple's haze over a spaced out rock 'n' roll musical

A ROCK and roll musical gets a Purple makeover!

Purple Theatre Company tells the story of a brave space captain and his loyal Albatross crew, who are shipwrecked on a planet with a disgraced scientist, his beautiful daughter, their robot and a giant monster.

A fantastic show for all the family, the show features songs including Great Balls of Fire, Shake, Rattle and Roll, Wipeout and other classics of the same era, served up with a Shakespearian plot.
