Fawlty Towers – The Play Read MoreTag: Apollo Theatre
The Apollo Theatre is an early Edwardian theatre designed in 1901 by Lewin Sharp. From 1908 to 1912 it was the home of “The Follies”, enjoying a reputation for light comedy, farce (such as Marc Amoretti’s long-running comedy “Boeing Boeing”) and revue (Kenneth Williams and Fenella Fielding starred in “Pieces of Eight” here). The Apollo also staged premiers by Noel Coward and Terrence Rattigan. In 1968 the actor John Gielgud enjoyed success in the premiere of Alan Bennett’s “Forty Years On”. A year later returned with his colleague and friend Ralph Richardson to star in David Storey’s “Home”. More Information
