This November, Jamaica Plain residents Scot Colford, Nick LaPete, Laurie Fisher, Jason Tennis, and Alicia Powell are in the Footlight Club production of Monty Python’s Spamalot.
Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur's quest to find the Holy Grail. However, diverting a bit from the true story, this hilarious musical features such oddities as a line of beautiful dancing girls, a flatulent Frenchmen, and killer rabbits. Outside there is plague with a 50% chance of pestilence and famine. Throughout the show Arthur, traveling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest, including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad. Besides the rabbits and farting Frenchman, they meet such characters as the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight, and the Knights who say Ni!
Director Laura Espy says “Join us at our silly romp this November. This cast has been hard at work creating a wonderful evening of theater and having a fun time doing it! The knights are waiting for you.”
