John Cleese's Fawlty Towers - The Play





The smash hit comedy returns!
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 ‘hugely entertaining blast of unadorned nostalgia’ (The Times) makes for an ‘indisputably funny evening’ (The Telegraph).
Join Basil (Danny Bayne), the delightfully bumbling Major (Paul Nicholas), Mrs. Richards (Helen Lederer) and Polly (Joanne Clifton) with an 18-strong cast as they bring to life all your favourite moments from the show’s unforgettable twelve episodes.
