MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL Screens Midnights This Weekend at The Tivoli
“I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”
MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL Midnights This Weekend (May 24th and 25th) at The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis 63130) as part of the Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight Series
“We’re knights of the Round Table, we dance whene’er we’re able. We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impec-cable, We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and Spam a lot.” This toe-tapping, musical interlude is just one example of the genius that is found in MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. It’s the medieval send-up of Arthur “King of the Britons,” along with his Knights of the Round Table, quest for the Holy Grail. All the knights run into various perils such as the Knights Who Say “Ni!,” the 3-headed giant, and Tim the Enchanter. The heroes are lured to the Castle Anthrax by a faux grail beacon, followed by a battle to the death with the Rabbit of Caerbannog with the Holy Hand Grenade. Written by Python alum Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, this cult favorite is a cheeky bookend to 1981’s EXCALIBUR…” On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.”
Now you can experience the side-splitting hilarity that is in MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL when it screens midnights this weekend at The Tivoli Theater. Admission is just $8.
