About this show
Jane is sensible, Sam is annoying, Harry is tired and Benji might be in love with an alien. A new sci-fi comedy following a group of friends as a meteorite lands in the local playground, kicking off an alien invasion. Set in their living room, the friends start to panic as more information is revealed to them about their impending doom, and accusations of secretly being Aliens start to fly about. It's a fast-paced, manic exploration of group dynamics and desperation – with a bit of ABBA added for good measure.

A good original production that was highly enjoyable, you could see the cast enjoying themselves. It was one of the best student productions I have seen this fringe, and I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to…
