| Description |
From the duo that unleashed Spamalot on the world, Eric idle and John Du Prez, comes a comic oratorio inspired by Monty Python's Life of Brian. According to Eric Idle, 'As the Messiah was to the Bible, so Not the Messiah is to Life of Brian. It is shorter than Handel, funnier than Handelm but obviously not as good theologically'. |
