About Alien on Stage

Why do pantomime when you can do Alien?  A very amateur dramatics group led by Dorset Bus Drivers spent a year creating a serious stage adaptation of the sci-fi, horror film, Alien. 
Their village-hall show is a crushing flop; it seems their hard work was for nothing but fate gives them a second chance to perform their homemade homage in a West End theatre, for one night only.  

With wobbly sets, awkward acting and special effects requiring 'more luck than judgement.' Will it be alright on the night?

After its world premiere in SXSW, Alien on Stage has had a hugely successful film festival season, screening at over 60 festivals worldwide, winning 4 audience awards and 2 jury awards. From Australia to Russia audiences have been raving about this heartwarming and uplifting film. 

Alien on Stage is Danielle Kummer and Lucy Harvey’s debut feature documentary.

Frequently Asked Questionss

Where is Pavilion Dance?

We are situated in the same building at the Pavilion Theatre in central Bournemouth but have our own venue and our own entrance. You can find out how to get to us here or just give us a call on 01202 203630.

Do you have a bar or food outlet?

We sell all the things you'd expect to find at a theatre bar and we will be open before the final film on each day. We sell hot drinks and snacks and have a free vend water machine. For lunches, there are cafes to either side of our building as well as the town centre just minutes away. 

Where are the toilets?

We have plenty of modern facilities including accessible toilets across our section of the building.

What is the difference between a festival pass and a single ticket?

The festival pass gives you access to all the screenings on site at Pavilion Dance, the market place as well as other events and actives, details of which can be found on the hirers website here. There are a small number of single screening tickets available to see single films only. When these are showing as sold out, they are still accessible with a festival pass.

How do I get my tickets?

You can receive your tickets via email and can either print them out or and them direct to your phones wallet. On the day, please check in at the festival desk where you may be given a festival wrist band.

Can I get a refund?

We cannot offer refunds, however you can purchase Ticket Protection from our partners at Secure My Booking along with your tickets today. This could help you reclaim the value of your purchase if for instance you should fall ill or have a travel problem. Claims are made directly with Secure My Booking.

Can children attend this event?

This event is strictly for people 18 and over due to the horror themes and the ratings placed upon films by the BBFC. This also extends to talks and vendor areas due to potential themes under discussion. Therefore we cannot admit those under 18. Anyone under 25 should have an ID in case they are challenged by a member of venue or festival staff. ID could include a passport, drivers licence or official digital ID recognised by cinemas.

Is there a place to put luggage, bags or coats?

Yes, there is a room with lockers (£1 required) where items can be stored at the owners risk. Please note that in line with venue policy, we may ask to look in your bag at any point. Please do not bring luggage or large bags (rucksacks etc) into the building.
