Knight life

New Yorkers are notorious Anglophiles so it is no surprise that they have fallen in love with Spamalot, the musical version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It has won rave reviews from the fastidious Broadway critics and looks certain to be the next big hit. So expect to overhear lots of strange references to knights that go "ni" on your shopping trip to the Big Apple. But we wonder, how would Pythonesque humour go down in the rest of America? How about a stage version of Life of Brian to be taken on tour through the Bible Belt to find out? Sadly, we think there's more chance of getting a swallow to carry coconuts.
