Shakespeare Aliens

Thirty-five years after James Cameron's Aliens first appeared in cinemas, pop culture aficionados - nerds - Rob Lloyd (Who Me, The Mighty Little Puppets) and Keith Gow (Who Are You Supposed to Be, Sonnigsburg) are recreating the film: mounted as if it was a history play written by the Bard himself.

Audiences will re-live the tension, frights, scares and sly commentary on capitalism from the original film, while accompanying Ripley and the marines to an outpost that has been picked clean of colonists by Ripley's most potent nightmares.

A diverse cast of nine actors along with three puppeteers will tell the tale of dreams, nightmares, soldiers and Queens, as Ripley and the marines come face-to-face with the iconic alien creatures in front of your eyes.

Imagine when we talk of space, you see stars

Imagine when you see one alien, you see fifty

Imagine if we had a bigger budget...

Here ye and come forth for an intergalactic story of Queens, battles, sleep & dreams!

For Shakespeare never wrote a story with more guns,
Than this tale of Ripley and the Aliens.
