The Aliens are back. This time they are testing the air and cleaning the planet. Of course the Men in Black have a mission to catch and destroy them. Things get complicated however when one of the Men in Black falls in love with one of the aliens. This performance practices the use of ‘s’ in the third person of present tense forms and also raises awareness of global warming issues.
Aliens Return is a continuation of The Alien Grammar Show. It is aimed at the same age range and the basic theme is the same, with Men in Black (intergalactic agents) trying to catch a pair of aliens. Aliens Return is however different in several ways. First there are two main lines to the story. There is an environmental theme to the play. The Aliens have come to earth in order to clean the planet and at one point they give a short presentation on the reasons why this is important. Then the other main thread of the story is how the younger male agent, Agent Tree, falls in love with the girl alien and the problems this creates with his boss Agent Wood. As with The Alien Grammar Show, Aliens Return involves a lot of direct contact and interaction with the audience. There is also, of course, a grammar theme, this time more a simple reminder to use 's' in the third person of present simple verb forms and also to use the auxiliary verb 'do' when forming negatives.
