John Cleese to bring Fawlty Towers to London's West End

Co-writer and star says three favourite episodes have been adapted for production, which will debut on May 15

A stage adaptation of the classic TV sitcom Fawlty Towers is set to come to London’s West End, almost 50 years after the first episode was recorded at the BBC. The production will debut at London’s Apollo Theatre on May 15, nearly five decades after the first episode was filmed at the BBC Television Centre in December 1974. Director Caroline Jay Ranger, from Only Fools And Horses The Musical and Monty Python Live, will bring the characters to life on stage.
