The brilliant Alien On Stage is screening in Birmingham with a director Q&A – and tickets are now on sale for the film!
We’ve talked for a long time about the majestic documentary Alien On Stage, a film following a bunch of people working for a Dorset bus company, staging an amateur dramatics performance of Ridley Scott’s Alien. It’s such a joyous and entertaining film, and one that’s very rarely been seen on the big screen in the UK.
However! On Friday 13th March – yep! – we’re bringing the film to the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham for one night only. And we’re delighted to be joined by the movie’s directors, Danielle Kummer and Lucy Harvey. They’ll be around afterwards to say hello as well.
Tickets are on sale now from the Midlands Arts Centre box office, and you can find them here: https://macbirmingham.co.uk/cinema/film-stories-presents-alien-on-stage-q-a
The synopsis, if you want a taster of what’s in store, reads as follow…
Why do pantomime when you can do Alien? A very amateur dramatics group led by Dorset Bus Drivers spent a year creating a serious stage adaptation of the sci-fi horror film Alien.
Their village-hall show is a crushing flop; it seems their hard work was for nothing but fate gives them a second chance to perform their homemade homage in a West End theatre, for one night only. With wobbly sets, awkward acting and special effects requiring ‘more luck than judgement.’ Will it be alright on the night?
Looking forward to seeing some of you there – and please help spread the word if you can.
