Alien on Stage

Fanhood manifests in the least-expected ways sometimes. Witness “Alien on Stage.” Yes, it’s the true story of an outfit of bus drivers in Dorset, England, who launch a very sincere amateur production of the Ridley Scott space horror classic, “Alien.” After their show is discovered by a pair of documentary filmmakers, the members of the Paranoid Dramatics troupe find themselves stars of London’s West End – for one night only. Variety describes it as the unforeseen cross between “Waiting for Guffman” and “The Full Monty.”
