THE SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE

About the show

In 1985 Lily Tomlin’s legendary comic characters became a satirical classic when Jane Wagner stitched them into a show that became Broadway legend. It’s a wise-cracking parade of humanity, swirling around Trudy, a bag lady who doesn’t miss a trick. The aliens want her to prove there’s some redeeming feature to the species. She’s seen the lot, and, well, our report card ain’t looking grand. The great Robyn Nevin (Neighbourhood Watch) plays Trudy under the direction of showman Simon Phillips (Grief is the Thing with Feathers). Poignant, funny and above all entertaining, here’s something different.
