   @ArtistBristol It’s absolutely pointless, all of it.

     @ArtistBristol “There is a part of me – my brain, specifically – that would rather Cleese (and Eric Idle) stopped trying to re-engineer and re-stage their earlier classic works altogether. The Pythons have made more last laps of the farewell circuit than Frank Sinatra. They are not, I fear, going to unearth untapped artistic potential. And there is a danger now, by allowing these kinds of artistic castrations, that they will begin to do real, Roger Waters-tier damage to their collective legacy.” This.

     So Cleese has caved.
     I agree with this writer. What is even the point of a Life of Brian revival stage show?
     I went to see "Spamalot" at the Theatre Royal in Bath, a few years back, and thought it very dreary, not a patch on the original Python tv and films.
