Nazis, Queens and the Spanish Inquisition: Monty Python Takes New York
Monty Python’s Flying Circus took to the stage Thursday night, a little grayer and minus (almost) the troupe’s one deceased player — but no slower on the draw, with shots aimed at each other and even the occasional adoring audience member.
The iconic (mostly) British comedy team collaborated on a borderline inexplicable sketch comedy series 40 years ago that featured gay lumberjacks, cheese shops that sold no cheese, pet shops that sold dead parrots and Cardinal Richelieu reining Spanish Inquisition terror on unsuspecting 20th-century Britons.
They remain as popular as ever and their story is the subject of a 6-hour documentary, Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut), which premieres on the IFC channel this week.
