The Mother Ship

Eliot is 18 and under severe stress. There’s no girlfriend in sight, his best mate has stopped swearing and his pregnant step-mum is even more stressed than he is…. and then, having got the call from outer space to say that The Mother Ship is coming to take him home, his disabled brother Gerry disappears. And it’s all Eliot’s fault.

A riotous chase kicks off involving a love-lorn lifeguard, a policeman who believes in the existence of Klingons and a car that can turn into a boat.

The Mother Ship is a fantastically funny new adventure about what it means to be young, to be different, or just to believe in something beyond the ordinary. Following its premiere in The Door, The Mother Ship will tour both regionally and nationally.

Douglas Maxwell’s previous plays include Helmet, the multi-award-winning Decky Does A Bronco and Mancub.
