2010: A Space Oddity
Wednesday 10th February 2010 at 7.30pm
For Chip Huston and his Commander this was an exciting voyage to Jupiter to investigate that strange signal emanating from its surface. But then they discover the ruins of the previous mission’s spacecraft in orbit around the planet. After losing contact with Earth, encountering strange forces on the ship, and battling its seemingly paranoid and unhelpful computer, their doomed assignment takes on a whole new direction while the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
With cinematic influences ranging from ‘2001’, and ‘Sunshine’ to ‘Armageddon” via ‘Alien’ this dynamic and ridiculous comic homage o space movies is overly dramatic, packed full of clichés and utterly silly from start to finish – a cartoon movie for the theatre.
Featuring a cast of two playing a cast of many, a stirring soundtrack and overuse of American accents.

The whole of the Oldham borough came to a stand still yesterday as snow covered the region but the fluffy stuff couldn’t stop Fairy Feathers and the Demon of Discontent at the Oldham Coliseum Theatre.
Schools closed, buses were suspended, public car parks were shut, and the streets were empty. But on Fairbottom Street the action was in full swing last night as the curtain rose for the 72nd performance of Mother Goose.
The whole cast took to the stage without a hitch and a very cosy audience settled in to watch the traditional pantomime during the last week of its run which closes this Saturday 9 January.
So snow is no excuse not to come and enjoy yourself at the Coliseum. Make sure you catch this magical show before it’s too late.
Tickets start from £10.00, a Family Ticket (two adults and two children) costs just £49 and group rates are available.
