Synopsis
In a Dorset village, bus drivers take on an unusual project. In 2013, they adapt the sci-fi horror film "Alien" for their annual pantomime. After an unpolished first performance, they receive an invitation to perform at the Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End. The cast, including Susan Baird and Anthony Swords, faces challenges with their makeshift sets and amateur acting. "Alien on Stage" captures their comedic efforts as they bring a piece of cinema to the stage.
