Don’t Miss The Faulty Towers Dining Experience

Following sell-out tours of Europe, five-star reviews and standing ovations under its belt, Australia’s hit Gourmet Show has returned. 
Featuring all the best gags and a great meal, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a loosely scripted, pitch-perfect “13th episode” of the TV series which develops the characters made famous by John Cleese, Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs.

The fun starts as the audience is called to be seated in the restaurant of the Fawlty Towers hotel, and it hurtles along for the next two hours as Sybil, Basil and Manuel serve the meal.

Basil is manic, Sybil domineering, and Manuel of course is hopelessly language-challenged. Everything that can wrong does in some beautifully controlled chaos. Just don’t mention the war!

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a site-specific, “total immersion” piece of interactive comedy theatre performed in a restaurant: the audience are the diners and the cast their warring waiters. It provides two hours of face-aching fun as well as a fabulous two- or three-course meal.

Born in Australia in 1997, the show continues to tour Australia and Europe throughout 2010:
