BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, 09/03/2015

Janice hears about a superhero play and the anniversary of Return to the Forbidden Planet.

Kenny Boyle dicusses his one-man play about a Scottish superhero, plus Bob Carlton talks about the 25th anniversary of cult musical Return to the Forbidden Planet.

Everyone loves a superhero and Kenny Boyle is no exception. His new one-man play, Hero Worship, tells the story of a young Scottish superhero called Anachronism - he's all hero but he's still not sure what his super powers are.

Twenty-five years ago Bob Carlton created and directed cult musical, Return To The Forbidden Planet. As its 25th anniversary tour reaches Edinburgh, Bob joins Janice to discuss the show's huge success around the world and the new features in the anniversary show.

Ingenious Impressions is an exhibition in Glasgow exploring 'incunables' - books printed before 1500 when printing was in its infancy and people were still experimenting with such an exciting new technology. Anne Ellis has seen it and shares the highlights with us.

And there's music: Nicola Meighan reviews Jimmy Somerville's new disco-tastic album, Homage, and Striking Matches - a country duo straight out of Nashville - tell us about their new single, Missing You Tonight.
