ROUND 150 people packed a Newport school for the opening performance of a popular musical.
Pupils from Bettws High School performed Return to the Forbidden Planet on Wednesday and will be giving their final performance tonight. Young actors from all years have been involved.
A spokesman for the school said: "It has been really well received." Written by Bob Carlton, Return to the Forbidden Planet is based partially on Shakespeare's The Tempest and partially on the film Forbidden Planet.
The show's dialogue comes from Shakespeare's plays and the songs are pop songs from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
