Is that possible you could ask. Reduced Shakespeare Company co-creator Adam Long thinks so as he will write, direct the almost impossible - a 20 minutes stage comedy of Star Wars. He will be performing together with two other performers on stage. Lucasfilm has approved Longs plans to shrink the saga to 20 minutes.

Long said: “This is my boyhood dream” and “Everyone loves Star Wars but I love it more than anyone”. The last statement I’m pretty sure that could be debated for a long time as there is a huge fan base around the world, but I give him a huge credit for just trying something like this.

No plot or aspect of the epic saga will be omitted and that’s when we come to the almost impossible part of this. The effects will probably be a little simplified so they could easily cut away some the 13 hours there, but there is still a lot of things to cover in those precious 20 minutes.
