Monty Python and the Holy Grail - 50th Anniversary (PG)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail turns 50 this year! A cult classic as gut-bustingly hilarious as it is blithely ridiculous, this landmark British comedy has lost none of its silly charm. Arrive early to catch resident theatre organist Wendy Hambly playing timeless tunes before the screening for a real old time treat!

A comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. When the mythical king of the Britons leads his knights on a quest for the Holy Grail, they face a wide array of horrors, including a persistent Black Knight, a three-headed giant, a cadre of shrubbery-challenged knights, the perilous Castle Anthrax, a killer rabbit, a house of virgins, and a handful of rude Frenchmen.
