Alien On Stage

description

An amateur dramatics group lead by a crew of UK bus drivers spend a year creating a stage adaptation of Ridley Scott’s ALIEN. The show is a crushing flop, but fate gives them a second chance to find their audience. Whilst still adjusting to the idea that their serious show is actually a comedy, the group is suddenly whisked from their village hall to a London West End theatre to perform this accidental masterpiece for one night only. With wobbly sets, awkward acting and special effects requiring 'more luck than judgment', this is the touching and hilarious underdog tale about a unique bus driving crew who become space heroes.
