DESCRIPTION:
(from Ovation's press release, March 2012) Holy Flying Circus - Premiering Saturday, April 7 at 10 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. PT. Written by Tony Roche (In the Loop, The Thick of It) Holy Flying Circus is a fantastical re-imagining of the controversy surrounding the release of Monty Python's 1979 film Life of Brian. The movie saw nuns with banners picketing cinemas, councils banning the film without even seeing it and religious groups organizing concerted campaigns against the film. It is a bold and entertaining homage to one of the most original comedy teams in British film and television history, and very pertinent as the debate about what is an acceptable subject matter for comedy rages on. Starring Darren Boyd (Four Lions, The Jane Show) and Charles Edwards (Batman Begins, Mansfield Park), with Roy Marsden (Silent Witness, Doctor Who) and Stephen Fry (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Alice in Wonderland, Bones). |
