Time Bandits February 16, 2013

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Time Bandits. Monty Python affiliate Terry Gilliam gathers some of his favorite funny people to form this story of a fairy tale come to life. Young Kevin daydreams materialize when a troupe of little men burst through the wall of his wardrobe and sweep him off on a journey through history, planning to steal from some of the great men of times past. In an attempt to stay ahead of The Supreme Being, they dart through time, encountering figures like Napoleon, Robin Hood, Agamemnon and even Evil himself. With a cast including John Cleese, Ian Holm and Sean Connery, Gilliam pulls off his traditionally irreverent and ragingly funny story gone awry.
