I FUCKED YOU IN MY SPACESHIP

I FUCKED YOU IN MY SPACESHIP

By Louis Emmitt-Stern

Two couples each invite a stranger into their homes with hope of sparking new life. Instead, they find themselves threatened by invasion, alienation, and abduction…

An uncanny and razor-sharp queer sci-fi comedy-drama, I Fucked You In My Spaceship received a critically acclaimed, sold-out world premiere at the VAULT Festival. It subsequently transferred to Soho Theatre, London, and has since been produced in New York and South Africa.
