Dressed for Space is an absurd comedy that explores themes of fantasy and freedom. The narrative investigates self-acceptance, the comfort of being in your own skin, and the aspiration to feel connected to the shared space around us.
A story for the aliens who secretly live among us, and therefore a story for all of us.
