Alien On Stage is a documentary about a unique crew of Dorset bus drivers and amateur dramatics who decided to ditch doing another pantomime and try something different.
Having never done anything like it before, they spent a year creating a serious adaptation of the sci-fi horror film, Alien; finding ingenious solutions to pay homage to the original film.
The show was a crushing flop, but fate gave them a second chance to find their audience. Whilst still adjusting to the idea that their serious show is actually a comedy, the group finds themselves being whisked from their village hall to a London West end theatre to perform this accidental masterpiece for one night only.
This bus driving crew are our space heroes. Their bus station is our space station, Dorset is outer space, and where is the Alien? It’s behind you!
