Spamalot Theatre Royal Brighton, New Road, Monday, March 30, to Saturday, April 4, 2015.

The original Monty Python team may have hung up their cardinals hats and fishnet tights this summer with their storming sold out O2 Arena farewell shows.

But their spirit lives on in the West End hit based on their film The Quest For The Holy Grail, which returns to Theatre Royal Brighton after a successful Christmas run in 2011.

The show, put together by Eric Idle from the original scripts, mixes favourite routines such as the Black Knight and French Taunter with new songs co-written with John Du Prez taking the mickey out of the musical form.

Starts 7.30pm, 2.30pm matinees Thurs and Sat, tickets from £12.90. Call 08448 717615
