Brian Blessed Yells about Buttocks, Because Classical Music
 |
A music teacher in England wants to get kids interested in classical music, and has figured out that the best way to do that is have Brian Blessed and comedian Rory Bremner enact an audio play with a related tune in the background, in this case “Scheherazade” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Then he wants to turn it into a comic book, which presumably defeats the purpose of listening to the music, but anyway…Brian Blessed yelling about baboons and buttocks!
The Kickstarter is here. The video plea, complete with sound bytes of the former Hawkmen/Gungan leader in full blowhard mode, is after the jump.
