How To Spot An Alien
Georgia Christou
The universe is full of questions: Is there life on other planets?
Should you be petrified for your Earthly existence?
Does everyone get abducted by aliens?
This play is full of answers: yes, yes, and that’s the title of the show!
Join Conspiracy Dan on a cautionary tour through alien-infested scenarios to avoid, such as going towards the light, voting for an alien political candidate, and buying gluten-free ice cream from extraterrestrials.
An off-the-wall comedy that’s sure to steal your heart...and then steal the rest of you away from Planet Earth.
