John Cleese, 81, tweeted on Sunday: “Today I finished the first draft of the script for the stage version of Life of Brian. Not a musical, as songs slow the pace down too much. Depending on Covid, we might be able to do it in the second half of next year.” He concluded: “No Pythons in the cast. We’ve had enough die already.”
Talk of a stage version of Life of Brian, probably one of the 10 funniest movies of all times, began in 2014, after the initial Broadway remake of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, now Spamalot, made more than $175 million.
