The era of Pythonesque comedy began in 1969 when six ambitious young men created the sketch comedy show Monty Python’s Flying Circus on the BBC, and continued to grow with their movies and musicals in the years following. Their use of surreal humor, and Terry Gilliam’s bizarre animations made the show unlike any other comedy of the time. Sylvia Clayton said that “Monty Python’s Flying Circus…had shown more inventive energy than all the other comedy shows put together” (Daily Telegraph 1970). Part

The very essence of Contemporary Theatre is that is such a diverse realm of performance art. Many different playwrights have contributed to this post World War Two theatre that instead of keeping to just one narrow genre it was able to branch out to cover all aspects and views of an ever transitional modern society.

The film Hail Mary tells the story of the virgin birth. It is told from a modern setting where Mary works at a gas station owned by her father and Joseph is a taxi driver. Life of Brian built its story on a satirical parallel of the life of Jesus Christ; he is born the same day as the messiah and therefore gets mistaken for being him. While both of these films have religious meanings behind them, they in no way aim to be disrespectful, make fun or take away from the biblical stories. In Life of

Monty Python’s Life of Brian traces the tragic last year of Brian of Nazareth, a man who shares his exact birthday and town with Jesus Christ, the subject of countless biblical epic films.

While not everything is accurate, it seems that a majority of the film could be considered genuine. In order to understand an analysis of the film

There are few films that create as much controversy upon their release as Monty Python’s Life of Brian, a movie in which the timeline is parallel to the life of Jesus. The Life of Brian focusses on Brian, a normal guy whose choice is to live a quiet life, but who the universe has other plans for.
