Monty Python's Life of Brian (expired event)

Just when you thought you were saved... What better way to celebrate Easter than with the hilarious and irreverent second coming, or the we-welease, of The Life of Brian.

From 6.30pm join us for zany tunes from DJ Matty G, a complimentary tasty Siena's pizza slice on entry, Easter-egg chucking (while stocks last) and, while our host James Palm guides you along with a sing-along to 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' whilst making sure you donate generously to the People's Front of Judea! We'll have some Roman soldiers on hand to keep the rabble in order.

Welcome back to Luna's annual screening of Life Of Brian, we see this as a fitting way to bring people together to have a bit of a laugh on Easter Sunday in the Luna Outdoor! Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with their 1979 all-time classic Life of Brian.

Highly controversial upon its original release and banned in several countries, the film is now frequently ranked as the greatest comedy feature of all time by magazines and media outlets around the world. As Monty Python member Terry Gilliam says, “It rips bare and makes you laugh at the world we’ve created for ourselves.”

Set in 33 A.D. Judea, where exasperated Romans are trying to impose some order, it is a time of chaos and change with no shortage of messiahs and followers willing to believe in them. At its centre is Brian Cohen, a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd circumstances providing ample opportunity for the entire Monty Python ensemble (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) to shine in multiple roles as they question everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate and the art of haggling, to revolutionaries, crazy prophets, religious fanaticism, Roman centurions and crucifixion.
