It Came From Beyond The Script

Directed by Malcolm Morrison

Aliens have invaded! Vampires are stalking the night! The Thing From The Lake is being a general nuisance! For some reason, it's all happening in a small, nowhere, 1960's town. But we can't worry about that, because the town fair is opening in just 3 days! Sally and Kate are getting married! But the Mayor – Sally's dad – won't let that happen because Kate comes from the wrong family!

ICFBTS is an improvised retro-horror/comedy, integrating numerous tech elements. The audience decides the title of the episode and will discover what new horrors await our lovable cast of quaint characters.

This festival blows me away with its skill and generosity... In short it is a breath-taking, giddying display of mastery.

Produced by the New Zealand Improv Festival (NZIF)

Malcolm Morrison is an absolute nerd. He nerds out over anything and – like most improvisers – has a big smile with a very distinct laugh. He grew up improvising with Dunedin’s Improsaurus and consequently specialises in long-form, narrative based improv. Malcolm has created and directed over 30 unique shows, carrying a particular obsession for stories with believable characters in larger-than-life settings.

NZIF is back for 2023, with a week-long celebration of all things spontaneous, featuring shows, workshops and events all hosted right here at BATS. Come and be part of the magic!
