d. Marq English

COMEDY

The sleepy English village of Ravenswood has always been a mystical place; tales of ghosts, ley-lines, fairies and the devil have all been part of the village's heritage for well over a thousand years.
But nothing prepared the villagers for one summer's day in the mid nineteen sixties; an alleged
UFO abduction of a local farmer catipulted the village into a mecca for conspiracy theorists, paranormal investigators and new age gurus.
And now, with the UFO allegedly returning to the village, a tribal conflict is brewing between the local residents and the 'spiritual pirates' who have invaded their green and pleasant land.

This is a close encounter of the rural kind!
