John Cleese’s Fawlty Towers – The Play

Nearly 50 years since it first hit our TV screens, the ‘greatest British sitcom of all time’ (Radio Times) is now ‘the funniest show in town’ (Daily Express).

Adapted by comedy legend John Cleese and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, this brand-new stage play featuring your favourite scenes from the sitcom’s unforgettable twelve episodes, is a ‘hugely entertaining blast of unadorned nostalgia’ (The Times) making for an ‘indisputably funny evening’ (The Telegraph).

Starring Adam Jackson-Smith as the inimitable Basil, Anna-Jane Casey as the iconic Sybil, and Paul Nicholas as the bumbling Major, this 18-strong cast take on the iconic characters at Torquay’s most chaotic hotel – Fawlty Towers!
