This week's suggestion is mainly for you Monty Python fans - 2010's Not The Messiah.Filmed at a one-time only showing at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Eric Idle and John Du Prez, the creators of Spamalot, give Python's Life of Brian the same treatment as they did Holy Grail (Spamalot).
This is not a play, as Spamalot is. Rather it's an oratorio - meaning it's just singers, Eric Idle and some memorable cameos standing on-stage in front of a symphony orchestra. There isn't much acting unfortunately, mainly singing.
The other slight drawback for me was that it made me want to watch Life of Brian again (oh nooooooo!)
The singers, orchestra and choir are all excellent and it's a really good show. So if you enjoy Monty Python I'd recommend renting this.
