Description
The Mother Ship is an entertaining and humorous new adventure about what it means to be young, different, or believe in something beyond the ordinary. Eliot's life is turned upside down when he receives a call from outer space, his disabled brother Gerry disappears, and a series of chaotic events unfolds. A riotous chase ensues involving a love-lorn lifeguard, a policeman who believes in Klingons, and a car that can turn into a boat. This fantastically funny play explores the challenges faced by young people and those who feel like they don't quite fit in. First performed at the Birmingham Rep in February 2008, The Mother Ship was awarded the Brian Way Award for Best Play for Young People in 2009.
