30 Minute Trilogy: Return of the Sped-i


Cast line up - Shannon Friday, Tom Kereama, Cas Wanden, Kenneth Gaffney, Andrew Goddard, Tanya Piejus, Ashleigh Pope and Jamie Fenton


A long time ago, in a pub far, far away...

30 Minute Trilogy: Return of the Sped-i

Following the success of A Quick Hope and The Empire Strikes Fast, Enterprise Entertainment has returned to Bodega to finish their epic sci-fi parody of the original trilogy of Star Wars films: 30 Minute Trilogy.

Little do they know that this year's show, Return of the Sped-i, features two showtimes – at 6.30 and 8.30PM – just in time for Jedi Day: May the Fourth! RotS features Luke, Leia and Han escaping from Jabba's palace, Vader and Luke's epic lightsaber battle, Yoda and Boba Fett karking it, and the cutest Ewoks this side of Endor – all in 30 minutes or less!

Also returning for a third year is Chris Winchester, song stylist extraordinaire, with his hit “Glad to be Grey” and “Who the Hell is Tauriel?”

When completed, this event will spell the ultimate in geeky entertainment for a small theatre company determined to bring joy and fandom to Wellington....
