“No legacy is so rich as honesty”, as the bard of Stratford noted in All’s Well That End’s Well, or if trust in honour isn’t the bag you entertain when thinking of wills, then to think of theatre as a plaything to be held at arm’s length is a foolish notion that we must discard quickly and efficiently if we are to continue thinking that society is an inheritance that we must preserve at all costs.

Spamalot, Empire Theatre, Liverpool. Theatre Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. August 10th 2010.

“Camelot, it’s such a silly place” but so marvellous to visit and a joy to see Eric Idle’s West End smash hit comedy Spamalot transfer effortlessly around the country and eventually park the savage rabbit, doll out the much loved absurdity and revel in the spirit that is pure Monty Python at the Empire Theatre, Liverpool.

Written by Eric Idle and a musical score by John Du Prez, the story is pretty much the same as the film created by the Python team but with a few saucy extra bits added to give the talented cast as much time on stage as is possible.
