Go behind the scenes with a group of Brits mounting an amateur theatrical production of Ridley Scott’s classic.
Indiecan Entertainment has announced that ALIEN ON STAGE is coming to U.S. and Canadian general release October 8, after a festival tour that resulted in seven international awards. It was directed and produced by Danielle Kummer and Lucy Harvey; the synopsis: “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 London West End theatre, for one night only. With wobbly sets, awkward acting, and special effects requiring ‘more luck than judgement,’ will they be alright on the night?”
