“GOD THE ALMIGHTY AND ALL-KNOWING HAS MISPLACED A CUP?”

 

Monty Python's Spamalot offers up a hefty share of irreverence in a hilarious spoof of the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they go in search of the Holy Grail. This outrageous musical comedy by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, lets us look at our flaws and foibles and in doing so allows us to laugh at the things that make us human.

Setting: Medieval Britain and a little bit of France.
