“We’d like to welcome you all aboard Module 471 for yet another interplanetary shipment of random junk. Unfortunately, since we were ordered to collect that VIP, we’ve been in very serious trouble…”

 

Can the captain save the ship with nothing but an incoherent alien hitchhiker, an illogical AI, and a grandstanding salesman? Will you, our audience, help? No pressure, but if you don’t, the universe may end!!!!!

 

Taking inspiration from classic sci-fi and pop culture, from the writings of Ursula le Guin to Margaret Atwood, Barbarella to Galaxy Quest, Blake’s 7 to Alien, ‘Module 471’ is a futuristic space farce of jazzed up operatic funk.

 

WARNING: This performance is ‘scratch’. Which means we’ve only written half of it and it’s still very much in the early stages of development. It also means that we are VERY interested in what you think of it and want to hear your ideas on what you think should happen next.

 

Age Rating: 15+, some adult humour
