Star Warts – May the Sauce be with you!

29.02.2024

Last week our very talented Year 3 and 4 students, performed the fantastic production of ‘Star Warts – the Umpire Strikes Back,’ a hilarious take of the Star Wars film, perfect for age 7-9 year olds.

The Plot

In a galaxy far, far away, Luke Warmwater and his aunt, Daft Ada, live a lonely
life on their secluded space station, Junction 51. But when Princess Nebula’s
ship crash lands into Luke’s bedroom, they soon learn of the evil Umpire and
his dark desire to conquer the universe.
Along with Toby Wonky Nosebleed, Zak Solo and Nigel the Nookie, they
follow Princess Nebula in her rebellion. Aboard the Millennium Penguin, they
whizz warp-speed through the galaxy to the Umpire’s High Tower on Planet
Wimbledonia.
But little do they know… the Umpire is about to strike back

A quote from Mrs Stotesbury:

“The pun-niest play I think I’ve seen in a long time. The audience were treated to a wonderful, sci-fi/tennis mash up themed, journey through the galaxy, complete with an upcycled Henry Hoover as SJCR’s very own R2-D2 or should I say RU-1-2?”

“The comic timing, stage presence and commanding singing from 7,8 and 9 year olds was impressive; a testament to the hard work of the staff who have given so much since the Autumn term to ensure that everyone was prepared.”
