NH Unscripted with Franklin Footlight Theatre
The WKXL NH Unscripted studio was packed today with cast and crew from the Franklin Footlight production of Monty Python’s SPAMALOT going up Aug 1-4 at the Tilton School’s Hamilton Hall. SPAMALOT is a Camelot spoof and is absolutely hilarious for those that don’t know and we talked about it all. The show is filled with classic MP gags and routines and we discussed as much of them as we could. There was even an accent challenge at one point with yours truly failing miserably! The show has all of the characters that you would expect including King Arthur, Lancelot (the homicidally brave), Lady of the Lake (complete with Laker Girls), Sir Robin (the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot), Sir Galahad, Sir Bedevere, Patsy, Prince Herbert, Concorde and many more. Choreography? Oh yeah, in spades! My friends, go out to dinner and then go see this show. You will not be disappointed!
