Hilarity happens right off the bat, as the actors misunderstand and sing about Finland (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fisch Schlapping Song<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). From there, the play follows the Monty Python movie\u2019s plot line through a dreary village.

Monty Python specializes in bringing out the absurdity from the typical, so setting up the show with a fairy-tale feel would be one way to lull your audiences into complacency right before hitting them with all the fun twists this show takes! The Finland song would play hilariously against this drop, with its romantic castle, glittery lettering and storybook details.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the sudden shift to dreary, rural England, try this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/3656\/blue-ridge-mountains-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop<\/a>. Indigo-hued mountains fade into soft purples, as washed-out greens and grays in the foreground contrast delightfully with the extravagant details of the previous drop. Some cottage set pieces would instantly transform your stage into a tired, run-down British village wholly unprepared for their King Arthur to visit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Introducing the Lady of the Lake!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/backdrops\/weeping-willow-007-00860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/WEEPING-WILLOW-with-Frame-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"WEEPING WILLOW Professional Scenic Monty Python's Spamalot Backdrop\" class=\"wp-image-4483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/WEEPING-WILLOW-with-Frame-1024x526.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/WEEPING-WILLOW-with-Frame-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/WEEPING-WILLOW-with-Frame-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/WEEPING-WILLOW-with-Frame.jpg 1044w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">King Arthur is travelling the land trying to recruit Knights for his round table in Camelot. He comes across Sir Robin and Lancelot. They argue over whether or not a sickly villager is still among the living (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is Not Dead Yet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Arthur&#8217;s search meets more resistance on his next encounter. Dennis Galahad and his mother are political radicals who reject Arthur\u2019s dubious source of authority. So, Arthur calls out the Lady of the Lake and her Laker girls to prove his royalty (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come with Me\/Laker Girls Cheer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/3434\/weeping-willow-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Weeping Willow backdrop<\/a> would be a great choice for the Lady of the Lake scene. The ancient willow, gnarled and knotted into the suggestion of a weathered old face, offers a magical feel. It dangles its sleepy boughs over a mysterious lake, framed with deeply shadowed undergrowth. It would make an excellent setting for the Lady and her Laker Girls to appear and vouch for Arthur\u2019s ascendancy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Camelot<\/h2>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) { \r\n\tjQuery( '#slider-pro-3-4486' ).sliderPro({\r\n\t\t\/\/width\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 1000,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/height\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 500,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/auto play\r\n\t\t\t\tautoplay:  true,\r\n\t\tautoplayOnHover: 'none',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayDelay: 5000,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tarrows: true,\r\n\t\tbuttons: true,\r\n\t\tsmallSize: 500,\r\n\t\tmediumSize: 1000,\r\n\t\tlargeSize: 3000,\r\n\t\tfade: true,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/thumbnail\r\n\t\tthumbnailArrows: true,\r\n\t\tthumbnailWidth: 120,\r\n\t\tthumbnailHeight: 120,\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tthumbnailsPosition: 'bottom',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcenterImage: true,\r\n\t\timageScaleMode: 'cover',\r\n\t\tallowScaleUp: true,\r\n\t\t\t\tstartSlide: 0,\r\n\t\tloop: true,\r\n\t\tslideDistance: 5,\r\n\t\tautoplayDirection: 'normal',\r\n\t\ttouchSwipe: true,\r\n\t\tfullScreen: true,\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"slider-pro-3-4486\" class=\"slider-pro\">\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div start ---->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slides\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Fairy Tale Castle Professional Scenic Spamalot Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/FAIRY-TALE-CASTLE-Scenic-Backdrop.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Spamalot Professional Scenic PRINCESS CASTLE Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/PRINCESS-CASTLE-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Spamalot Professional Scenic Castle Chambers - B Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CASTLE-CHAMBERS-B-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div end ---->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- slides thumbnails div end -->\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\/* Layout 3 *\/\r\n\/* border *\/\r\n#slider-pro-3-4486 .sp-selected-thumbnail {\r\n\tborder: 4px solid #000000;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* font + color *\/\r\n.title-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n.desc-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #00000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* bullets color *\/\r\n.sp-button  {\r\n\tborder: 2px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-button  {\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - bottom *\/\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::before {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 5px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::after {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 13px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - top *\/\r\n\r\n\/* full screen icon *\/\r\n.sp-full-screen-button::before {\r\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* hover navigation icon color *\/\r\n.sp-next-arrow::after, .sp-next-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-previous-arrow::after, .sp-previous-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-4486 .title-in {\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tfont-weight: bolder;\r\n\ttext-align: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-4486 .title-in-bg {\r\n\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
