ROCKPORT — The musical begins with the character of The Historian talking about Plague that has spread through England, and ends with the audience singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

“Monty Python’s Spamalot School Edition is a perfect show for these pandemic times, with a humorous and mad-cap way of looking at the world,” said Camden Hills Regional High School, in a news release.

CHRHS will present its production on Nov. 5, 6, 12, and 13, at 7 p.m. each night; with a family show on Nov. 10, at 6 p.m.
