“You tit! I soiled my armour I was so scared!” says the brave Sir Robin, who often runs away.
You don't have to think hard to invision funny man Frank Woodley squealing the line as he pouts his lips. He is the perfect fellow to harness the character and charm of such a brave knight in Harvest Rain Theatre Company's 'Spamalot'.
Frank Woodley, Jon English, Julie Anthony and Simon GallaherWhile it's all fun and games – until somebody dies horribly – 'Spamalot' teeters on the edge of what is hilarious though it really shouldn't be. Crossing comedy and tragedy, 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' comes to life in the award winning musical stage show of the 1975 cult classic.
“Probably my favourite Monty Python moment is the one that went from the start of their work together 'til the end of their work together, but here's some lovely bits,” Frank says.
1. When Brian tells the crowd that they are all individuals - all different. The mob cries out in unison, "Yes, we're all different" and then a lone voice says quietly "I'm not."
2. When the knights of Camelot are crossing the bridge of death and they must answer the three questions or be cast into the gorge of eternal peril. I love the bit when Michael Palin is asked "What is your favourite colour?""It's blue. Er ... no it's ... AUUURRRGGHHHH!!!"
3. The image of a line of crucified prisoners bobbing their heads singing "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life".
4. Alms for an ex-leper - The beggar who's livelihood has been destroyed by Jesus curing him.
5. The black knight's optimism."I've had worse."
