Extra three-month run for John Cleese's play
John Cleese’s Fawlty Towers play is to return to the the West End this summer.
The show’s current London run at the Apollo Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue ends on March 1.
But producers have today announced it will return to the same venue from June 24 to September 13, before embarking on a UK and Ireland tour until 2026.
Cleese said: ‘It’s heart-warming that West End audiences still think Fawlty is as funny as ever. September this year will mark exactly 50 years since the first ever episode was broadcast on the BBC but here we are, all these years later, still making theatres rock with laughter.’
Cleese weaved three of the scripts he originally wrote with Connie Booth into the stage version: The Hotel Inspector, The Germans and Communication Problems.
Tickets for the new dates have just been put on sale and are available here.
