Imperial College Dramatic Society presents If Aliens Attack, I'd Die First, a new sci-fi comedy following a group of friends — Jane, Sam, Harry and Benji — as a meteorite lands in the local playground and kicks off an alien invasion. Set in their living room, the friends panic as more information about their impending doom is revealed, and accusations of secretly being aliens start to fly. It is a fast-paced, manic exploration of group dynamics and desperation, with a bit of ABBA added for good measure. The show runs 45 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A fun, fast-moving sci-fi comedy with a group of very different characters trying to cope with the end of the world from their living room — and ABBA on the soundtrack. Light, energetic and suitable for most of the family.
