Spamalot, the theatre version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, will take over the stage of Joburg Theatre from 11 July 2014 - so, if you're in South Africa then, come along and laugh hysterically at King Arthur and his Knights, but beware of migrating swallows (they may just drop a coconut on your head!)

Dear Sirs,
I would like to object to the cancellation of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' back in the 70's. I realize this letter is very very late, but you will just have to deal with it!
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I would have liked to see more of the Pythons, especially Mr. Cleese and Mr. Idle.
Signed,
Brigadere Xindale L.
(Mrs.)
PS: Please take care, sleep well and have a smashing day tomorow.
Kiss, Kiss.
P.P.S: Lemon Curry?
