The "Greatest British Sitcom of all time" (Radio Times) is back – this time on stage!

Written by John Cleese & Connie Booth

50 years since it first graced our TV screens, Fawlty Towers is now a brand-new stage play adapted by comedy legend John Cleese and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger.

Fresh from a SOLD-OUT West End season! This laugh-out-loud production was universally acclaimed by every London and national critic, selling out every single performance during its record-breaking West-End run.

Pack your bags for a trip to Fawlty Towers as Britain's most beloved '70s sitcom heads on a nationwide tour following a successful West End run (with two extensions), adapted by the show's original writer and star, John Cleese - nearly fifty years after its debut. Directed by Caroline Jay Ranger (Only Fools and Horses: The Musical), the stage adaptation brings this iconic comedy to life. First broadcast in September 1975, Fawlty Towers is widely regarded as one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time - and now you have the chance to relive the chaos on stage.

Fawlty Towers is set in a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, nestled along the English Riviera. The story follows the eccentric and rather incompetent Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) and the ever-patient Sybil Fawlty (Prunella Scales) as they attempt to run the hotel, encountering a hilarious string of mishaps and mayhem along the way.
