    “ Fun sci-fi parody, with jokes not unlike Douglas Adams': perhaps Adams meets Futurama. This piece would be lovely as the first in a performance of sci-fi works. It's got several great gimmicks which I appreciated. Above all, this show strikes me as worthwhile and easy to produce. ”

    “ An excellent and witty Star Trek send-up! The Nostromo Rule is a short play chock-full of back-to-back jokes in virtual form. I especially liked the low-tech "viewscreen" that was just a hand holding up a picture in front of a camera. Hilarious! ”

The role of The Ship can be played by a hand holding up a printed out picture of the Starship Enterprise. It can also be omitted entirely.
