Featured in the Melton Times

Fans of Monty Python are in for a treat later this year when Melton Theatre hosts a production SPAMALOT, the show which proved to be a box office smash in the West End.
Tickets starting at £18 are on sale now for the hilarious musical focusing on the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, told through satire, sensational songs and silly fun.
Melton Musical Theatre Company (TMMTC) will be performing the show, which is based on the Monty Python film, The Holy Grail, which was released 50 years ago and paved the way for all our modern comedy satire films.
The whole Python team were in it – John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry James, Michael Palin and, of course, local boy Graham Chapman, who grew up in Melton and attended the old King Edward VII School, before going off to Cambridge University where he first met Cleese.
Chapman played King Arthur in the film so it’s only fitting a local man should take the helm in the Melton Mowbray in the shape of Paul Mills, who is looking forward to donning the crown.
Read the full interview between Nick and Paul (our King Arthur) over at the Melton Times.
