CGiii Comment

What was funny then...is not necessarily funny now.

Interesting only to see familiar faces as they once were...young with vaulting egos.


No trailer...there was a trailer but it has since disappeared!

 

The(ir) Blurb...

Starring Monty Python and Beyond the Fringe and other comic luminaries like Barry Humphries as Dame Edna. Pleasure at Her Majesty's is a hilarious obdoc following the rehearsals and performances of the first Amnesty Benefit at Her Majesty's Theatre London.

Famous comics like John Cleese, Peter Cook, Terry Jones and Alan Bennett are seen in rare moments of intimacy backstage and rehearsing at home. The chaotic lunacy is managed by Jonathan Miller.
