Return...

So, the Dundee Schools Music Theatre shows are approaching..!
I won't give away too much other than to say that the Dundee Rep will be home to their production of Return to the Forbidden Planet..!
I've never seen the show but the film that it's based on is one of my all-time favourites.
I can remember watching it on BBC 2 as part of a series that they did which included, The Time Machine, War of the Worlds and possibly The Boy With Green Hair.. all undeniable classics... the ones I didn't care for too much were The Day The Earth Stood Still and The Blob.. which were a little too pedestrian for my 9yr old self.. ;)
Anyway, here's my 'teaser' illustration for the Rep advertising.. The final poster will have more detail and colour.
I'm happy that it gets the 50's feel across but what I set out to do was along the lines of the Incredibles 'cut-out' style that was adopted for the credits sequence (see below..) I didn't crack it in time so had to go for something closer to my comfort zones..
Maybe i'll get it sorted in the programme!

What do you think..?
