The very last night of Monty Python Live (Almost) and didn’t they do well? A production packed with familiar old favourites, brilliantly staged musical numbers and an energy that belied the seventy plus ages of its principals. To see Terry Jones and Eric Idle resurrect ‘Nudge, Nudge’ again, forty five years after first performing it. Or to revel in Mike Palin and John Cleese merging the Dead Parrot and Cheese Shop sketches. Or to gasp as Terry Gilliam, one of the world’s finest, most respected film directors, dangling high above the stage to warble ‘I’m Got Two Legs’ one last time. A triumph from start to finish. The guest list for that last night was, unsurprisingly, lavish. It’s not every night one can hang out with Professor Stephen Hawking and Tim Brooke-Taylor. This was one such night. Unforgettable.
