Alien War THEATRE It’s Hallowe’en. It’s the Arches’ 21st birthday. And it’s Alien War’s 20th anniversary, with the legendary terror experience rejigged in the wake of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate this confluence of events than by running round the bowels of the Arches in a state of extreme fear. See feature, page 16. Arches, Glasgow, until Sun 14 Apr 2013.
