Thanks to television syndication, the Public Broadcasting System, movies and even a hit Broadway musical, the groundbreaking British comedy troupe, Monty Python, is known to almost every man, woman and child in the USA. At 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 8 and 9, their classic big screen debut will be shown on the biggest screen in Grays Harbor, as “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” comes to Hoquiam’s historic 7th Street Theatre.

The 1975 film has achieved true cult status and has been variously described as hilarious, wildly original and one of the most inspired pieces of celluloid silliness among cinematic classics. It is basically a parody of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, viewed through the weirdly, wonderfully warped lens of the comedic legends who made up Monty Python.

The movie stars the entire Month Python troupe. Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam play multiple roles, with all five sharing the screenwriting credits. Jones and Gilliam served as co-directors. The film is a crazy quilt of trademark Python sketch humor, endlessly recurring inside jokes, and the surreal humor that made Monty Python a worldwide comedic phenomenon. Because it is set in the British Middle Ages, it remains as fresh and timeless today as when it was originally produced, more than 40 years ago. It true Python style, it takes its painfully low budget and turns what would normally be seen as a severe shortcoming into one of the film’s funniest ongoing routines.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com.
