Blessed are the cheesemakers, blessed are the Pythons, and blessed are those of you who join us at the State Theatre for a special screening of the fabled comedic troupe’s sharpest and most controversial satire about a poor chap who just can’t seem to win. Born on December 25, not too far from a certain manger of note, Brian is constantly mistaken for the Messiah, and it makes life darn difficult. But thanks to Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, we can all look on the bright side of life.
