Tara's Birthday treat from her Mum was tickets to see Spamalot despite telling her Mum that she's not a big Monty Python fan......Parents!
It was put on by the Dunstable Musical Theatre Company, at the Grove Theatre in Dunstable and what a brilliant performance it was! Initially I thought the West End production was on tour but not so, so they must have released the rights or whatever to allow amateur groups to produce it, though to call the DMTC an amateur group makes them sound second rate and they certainly weren't that!
It was a very slick and polished performance and was a hoot from beginning to end, the cast obviously enjoyed themselves too. This stage version of the film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail has other bits of Python shoehorned in, 'Always look on the bright side of life' is in it even though it was from The Life of Brian and of course its adapted to make it work on stage. Its very funny and well worth seeing, and Tara? She thoroughly enjoyed the show. I should also say that Ella & Julian treated us to dinner at the Gary Cooper before the performance which was really nice & a couple of beers naturally!
As you aren't allowed, or at least not supposed to take photos of the performance here's a photo of the intermission!
