Deanery Players take off with Forbidden Planet

The sci-fi inspired musical will be performed at Harrogate Theatre from Thursday February 9 to Saturday February 11.

“Guaranteed to keep the feet tapping the audience is encouraged to join in the mood of this humorous, modern interpretation of a much-loved Shakespearean play,” said director Kath Lunn.
