The Life of Python

Monty Python lives to ride again...don't believe any of these malicious rumours that they're washed up and pooped out. Not true. With the opening of the smash hit musical 'Spamalot', the great, hugely influential comedy group is gearing up anew, to surprise us yet again. The tribute to the inspired collective genius of John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and the late Graham Chapman, is based on personal reminiscences and exclusive interviews with each of them. It recounts, with many illustrations from the archives, their pre-Pythonic lives, their meetings, its impact, and the aftermath. They have come a long way over the years since then. Today, Gwen Dibley would hardly know them.
