Published by Nick Hern Books
In December 1975, Monty Python's Flying Circus was broadcast coast-to-coast in the USA
It was the Pythons' first time on a major network ...
... but somebody cut out all the naughty bits!
Undismayed, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam flew to New York to persuade the network to reinstate the cuts - and, somewhat by accident, found themselves at the centre of a landmark court case concerning freedom of expression and the protection of artistic integrity
This gloriously funny play investigates the nature of comedy, the operation of censorship, and the complex misunderstandings implicit in the Anglo-American relationship
