Basically, Robert reported lights over the Tesco car park. Then he told us an alien was coming to stay in his spare room. With the help of some historical abduction stories, a latex alien mask, and a bucket of flying saucers, we’re working out whether to believe him.
Poltergeist Theatre’s much-hyped, and Samuel French new play award-winning, Lights Over Tesco Car Park charts how the cast (the researchers) got in touch with a guy called Robert – who apparently saw an alien, or at least a red light in the sky that split into four, while walking past a Tesco one evening. Intertwined with tales of other historical abduction accounts, this ensemble piece jumps back and forth between different narrative paths – looking, in their own offbeat and charming way, at the power and importance of belief.
It's an inventive play that uses a mixture of storytelling, acting mixed with image projection, recorded phone calls and re-enacted events. All sorts of props are picked up from the sides, with instances of audience interaction. It would be a great experimental and physical piece for a GCSE drama performance.
