PLAN 8 FROM THE OUTER ETHER
by Brian Rust
A live radio theater troupe attempts to put on its most challenging show: a hard-boiled steampunk thriller about aliens trying to take over the world! In this tribute to Ed Wood, Dashell Hammett and dysfunctional community theaters everywhere, the story-within-a-story of Detective Bunny Omega’s desperate struggle to save the planet from bizarre space beings weaves in and out with the AbletownLive Radio Players’ struggle to put on a good performance with a script they’ve never seen before. The result is a comedy about hubris, derring-do, and the importance of having a good live foley team.
