Monty Python’s Spamalot<br />
Knights of the Roundtable Aren’t Dead Yet<br />
The best way to look at the bright side of life is through laughter—lots of it. That’s exactly what twenty six<br />
Prep Players, under the direction of Megan Hoover, brought to the Kelley Theatre at the Quick Center May<br />
9 and 10 with the smash hit Monty Python’s Spamalot. Some of the biggest audiences the Players have<br />
seen left feeling nothing but pure joy after an evening watching King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table<br />
gallop around stage, aided of course by coconuts, in their search for the Holy Grail. On their journey they meet<br />
Python’s most famous and ridiculous characters: the terrifying Knights of Ni; a rather rude French Guard; and<br />
the most foul, cruel, and bad tempered rodent you ever set your eyes on. In the end they learn that each<br />
one of us must find the Grail within us. No, nobody swallowed it; it’s a symbol! The<br />
show is a comedy, so they find the Grail and end with a<br />
wedding and everyone leaves the theater just wanting to sing.<br />
