Fawlty Towers – The Play will tour to Milton Keynes Theatre as part of its UK run. The stage adaptation, written by John Cleese, brings together classic episodes from the original BBC series.
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.
Recently, we had the chance to chat with Danny Bayne, who is playing Basil Fawlty. We discussed what it was like growing up as a fan of comedies like Fawlty Towers, what he’s looking forward to on tour and why he thinks it’s important that the cast on stage aren’t simply doing impressions of their screen predecessors.
Recorded during the show’s run at the West End with its original cast, Fawlty Towers: The Play will air in September to mark the 50th anniversary of the classic sitcom’s first ever episode.
Casting has been announced for the UK and Ireland tour of John Cleese's FAWLTY TOWERS – THE PLAY. Following the hugely successful and critically acclaimed West End run earlier this year, will be coming to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre.

For a sitcom that only lasted for 12 episodes, Fawlty Towers left an indelible mark on British comedy. Discourteous hotel owner Basil Fawlty and his shrewish wife Sybil became legends, along with long-suffering chambermaid Polly and hapless waiter Manuel. Previously staged in Australia, this nostalgic and tightly choreographed play is adapted by the series’ original co-writer John Cleese.
The much-anticipated stage adaptation of the beloved 1975 sitcom Fawlty Towers will premiere at London's Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, free of racial slurs, confirmed John Cleese, the show’s creator.
Fifty years since it was first recorded at BBC Television Centre in 1974, the “greatest British sitcom of all time” (Radio Times) Fawlty Towers, has been adapted for the West End stage by comedy legend John Cleese and will premiere at London’s Apollo Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue on Wednesday 15 May.
