Finally, "Spamalot!" the hit Broadway and West End Musical that set Musical theatre back 100 years comes to Adelaide and goes Beyond The Fringe!

Starring the cream of Adelaide's theatrical talent, and acted with panache, precision, and many other words beginning with "P", this is Python's silliest and funniest film transformed to the big stage, in a presentation of a multi-Tony-award-winning production.

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" live on stage… featuring all of the film's most famous sequences - the French taunters who speak in the most outrageous of accents - the Killer Rabbit - the suicidal and limbless Black Knight - the Knights who say 'Ni' and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

Watch in amazement as King Arthur and his faithful servant Patsy "ride" (with the assistance of coconuts) the breadth of England to seek the most holy of Grails - on a mission from God himself (who makes a charming guest appearance by special arrangement in Act 1) - with the assistance of his faithful knights:

The brave Sir Lancelot - the heroic Sir Bedevere - the charming Sir Galahad - and the not-so-brave Sir Robin who nearly vanquished the vicious Chicken of Bristol and personally wet himself at the battle of Baden Hill!

Fall in love with the luscious Lady of the Lake and her stunning Laker Girls!

Be amazed at the class, chintz and sheer cheapness of this production!

Marvel as our heroes do battle with their fearsome adversaries and wonder just how far they can go before being arrested for being silly things!

And remember - what happens in Camelot…stays in Camelot!"
