In this joyous documentary, we follow the fortunes of amateur theatre troupe the Paranoid Dramatics as they stage a scene-by-scene remake of Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi/horror movie, Alien. After the initial show bombs these unlikely legends get an unexpected second chance, and so this joyous documentary follows their journey from their tiny local theatre to the West End as their pie-in-the-sky drama project becomes a genuine cultural sensation. Alien on Stage is a winning story about film, theatre, and passion that is sure to be one this year’s most talked-about movies.


“The climactic performance combines the crafty ingenuity of Be Kind Rewind and the earnest fun of Waiting for Guffman.” (Christopher James - The Film Experience) “Immersive and fun from start to finish.”(Nate Adams - The Only Critic)


“The perfect pick-me-up, the quintessential reach-for-your-dreams reminder, and the ultimate document of outsider art.” (Jonathan DeHaan - Nightmare on Film Street)
