Life of Brian / Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Life of Brian
Monty Python delivers the group’s sharpest and smartest satire of both religion
and Hollywood’s epic films. Set in 33 A.D. Judea where the exasperated Romans
try to impose order, it is a time of chaos and change with no shortage of
messiahs and followers willing to believe them. At it’s centre is Brian Cohen,
born in Bethlehem in a stable next door, who, by a series of absurd
circumstances is caught up in the new religion and reluctantly mistake for the
promised messiah, providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (Graham
Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin)
to shine in multiple roles as they question everyone and everything from
ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate and haggling to revolutionaries, crazy prophets,
religious fanaticism, Roman centurions and crucifixion, forever changing our
biblical view.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his Knights of the Round Table (John Cleese,
Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) on the trail of the elusive Holy
Grail, encountering many nasty and long-winded characters (John Cleese, Eric
Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) on the way. Who can forget the quest for a
shrubbery to placate the fearsome Knights who say ‘Ni’, the fearless, and
limbless, Black Knight, the mysterious wizard Tim and the horrific White Rabbit,
with the big pointy teeth?
