Notes
○ This family play set in the future features a teenager being menaced by an unseen on stage alien. The creature is only ever seen briefly via television monitors and this pre-recorded material featured Press & Publicity Officer Jeannie Swales as the alien.
○ Callisto 5 was later revised by Alan Ayckbourn to include Jem’s sister, Jodi. Although the plot remained essentially the same. The play retitled as Callisto#7 premiered in 1999.
