Fawlty Towers – World Premiere and National Tour
Fawlty Towers, one of television's most popular comedies, was created over 40 years ago but is still enjoyed and quoted today. John Cleese has adapted the hilarious scripts for a world premiere of the live Fawlty Towers stage show in Sydney in August and September.
After mastering the formidable art of comedy with the team at the Monty Python Flying Circus, John Cleese and his wife created the television show Fawlty Towers, a fictional English seaside hotel, led by Basil Fawlty, the manager with a fierce temper and a dislike for his 'common' guests, his demanding wife, a maid attempting to manage Basil's dilemmas and a Spanish waiter struggling to learn English. Although only 12 episodes were broadcast, the show is regularly voted as the best of British television. It is regularly replayed on Sydney television channel 72.
After creating the stage show scripts, John selected talented Australian actors to perform the key roles. Stephen Hall is the ideal choice to play Basil Fawlty, after a long history of comedic stage and television roles including as Bert Newton and several Monty Python characters.
The uproarious season of stage shows at the Roslyn Packer Theatre in Walsh Bay begins on Friday, 19 August at 8pm. Prices start at $62 plus booking fee. To book, visit
