Alien on Stage (2020)
Dir. Lucy Harvey, Danielle Kummer
Screened at @screamsbythesea Film Festival
In Dorset no one can hear you scream, unless of course you've had the sheer joy of experiencing Alien on Stage. This documentary from filmmakers Lucy Harvey and Danielle Kummer follows an intrepid amateur dramatics group who drive buses by day and tackle intergalactic beings by night.
We see the many amazing real-life characters in the group undertake some of the best-known roles in sci-fi horror history. We laugh, we cry, but mostly we're in awe. The sheer determination to pull off a performance of this magnitude is incredible. The creativity is unrivalled; we have some amazing props, and the production is doused in quintessential British charm and humour.
As the cast and crew grace the stage of the famous Leicester Square Theatre in London's West End for the first time, we're treated to a mix of backstage hijinks, audience reactions and of course the show itself. It's clear to see how this reimagining came to be so popular and has since won multiple awards. I'd highly urge everyone to take the time to immerse themselves in the sheer joy that Alien on Stage provides; it's an inspirational watch for all to enjoy.

A busy festive period started with a cosy few days at Landmatters in Devon for Solistice.
Staying in a Yurt, luckily the snow and frost had past so it was cosy and warm. Open fire and a hot tub in the forrest.
