Monty Python's "Spamalot"
Theaterruine St. Pauli, Dresden, Germany
"... performed with such joy and enthusiasm that it's a delight to watch" (SAX)
As if King Arthur didn't have enough on his plate - dreadful weather, insolent Frenchmen, and a never-ending string of plagues - he now receives a divine command to find the Holy Grail. And so the Knights of the Round Table stumble through the most outlandish adventures imaginable. They face the Black Knight, the killer rabbit, and the desperate Herbert. God keeps driving them onward in their quest, while the hapless band of knights sings and dances through gloriously absurd and rousing musical numbers.
Monty Python's "Spamalot" skewers the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table with irreverent wit. Motifs from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" are woven together with songs like "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
Inventively staged, performed with infectious energy and delightfully off-kilter humour, the musical has taken the stage of the TheaterRuine... By the end, no one is left unmoved - and no eye stays dry. (Dresdner Morgenpost)
