Contains: one confused alien, two brave kids and a busted spaceship. What do you do if you think your aunt is an alien? Twelve-year-old Jelly and her brother, Jonjo, have their suspicions. She won't let them leave the house. Or ask questions. And she definitely won't let them in the attic. Join Jelly and Jonjo on their quest to discover the truth in a rip-roaring adventure through space, full of friendship, fun and flying saucers. Georgia Christou's play How To Spot An Alien is ideal for space cadets age five and up to watch, read and perform. It was first produced in 2018 by Paines Plough in their pop-up theatre, Roundabout, in a co-production with Theatr Clwyd.
"'Wow. Here's a drama that channels all the righteous anger of the moment, the pent-up fury that women have found themselves at last allowed to express... [Ella Hickson] hits the jackpot once more with this coruscating examination of power structures both artistic and personal and how received ideas shaped by an inescapably patriarchal society infuse the two realms'"
Evening Standard
"'An eloquent, intellectually agile, vividly written and frequently furious play...
a compelling theatrical experience'"
The Stage
"'Electrifying... very punk rock, a thrillingly uninhibited rally against the establishment'"
