Nearly 50 years since it first hit our TV screens, the ‘greatest British sitcom of all time’ (Radio Times) became a brand-new stage play, adapted by comedy legend John Cleese and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger.
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 took on the iconic characters at Torquay’s most chaotic hotel – Fawlty Towers!
Featuring your favourite scenes from the sitcom’s unforgettable twelve episodes, this really was the stage comedy event of the year!
Fawlty Towers and Better Hotels!
Obviously their Fawlty Towers Theatre Break audiences didn’t want their hotel to resemble the infamous Torquay hotel where the Major or Miss Tibbs and Miss Gatsby stayed, so maybe it wwas a good idea to choose your London hotel from the top of our popularity list: those with the very best reviews from previous guests!
