Spamalot - The Press
Python’s classic Quest for silliness leads to
“SPAMalot”
From the Fjords of Norway, no sorry that's Finland, to the swamps of Wessex, the Northern Light Theatre Company will journey in search of the sacred Grail – and a whole lot of laughs.
Searching through Fir trees and Shrubberies the incredibly brave Knights of the Round Table will dance, sing and bumble their way through the familiar landscape of Monty Python's England of the Middle Ages, egged on by the amazingly diva-ish Lady of the Lake and her persuasive Laker Girls. Bravely defying plagues, the Black Knight, Bridal Parties and the KILLER rabbit they wander their way towards their ultimate goal!
The madness is nearly kept in check by the almost stable Michael Pole in the role of Director and the manic Peter Johns who as Musical Director uses far too many notes! Dodging her way between these two legendary figures with some tricky steps is Choreographer Sue Pole moving with grace as always (but Grace doesn't mind).
The silliness is shared by such luminaries as Megan Humphries, Nick Setchell, Michael Papps, Omkar Nagesh, Glenn Vallen, Steve Rudd, Jason Ferguson and Jethro Pidd who are ably distracted by Tammy Pedler, Kira-Marie Laverty, Michelle Brow, Haydee Watkins, Lauren Noble and Abby Hampton, who are being chased by Angus Smith, Brendan Cooney, Graham Buxton, Ian Buxton, Sam Davey, Dirk Strachan, Stephen Tulip and Tommy Ling, with Karen Mather and Shelley Hampton increasing the insanity.
Now if we can just keep Lancelot away from the curtains and find the Jews, all will be revealed, or hidden or something. So come and meet us in merry Finland, I mean England, and join the quest!
