For those in need of a post-Christmas dose of anarchic Monty Python daring, the legendary comic group’s classic Arthurian hallucination is just the ticket as we embark on a sublimely irreverent and jaw-droppingly hysterical medieval quest.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail follows King Arthur (Graham Chapman) who is accompanied by his trusty servant Patsy (Terry Gilliam) to seek knights to join his round table at Camelot. The quest isn’t, however, as easy as it might sound: constitutional-obsessed peasants, a Three-Headed Knight and singing dancers of Camelot are only a few of the characters that our merry group of knights will come across on their journey.
A wonderfully inventive comedy that brilliantly debunks the Dark Ages and legends of chivalry, this endlessly quotable and quintessentially British concoction will bring laughter (and coconuts!) to your festive wind-down.
