Fawlty Towers – The Play

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.

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.
