SYNOPSIS: musical comedy; farce

This is an unusual rendering of the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail. The musical diverts a bit from more traditional versions of the legend. Here, there are shenanigans including a line of beautiful dancing girls, a flatulent Frenchmen, and killer rabbits. The characters live in a world where there is plague with a 50% chance of pestilence and famine. Throughout the show, Arthur, traveling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest, including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad. Besides the rabbits and the farting Frenchman, they meet such characters as the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight, and the Knights who say Ni.
