FAULTY TOWERs

THE DINING EXPERIENCE

Thursday 4, Friday 5 and Saturday 6 November 2010

Following sell-out tours of Europe and Australia, the show that wins five-star reviews and standing ovations wherever it goes is coming to the Hispaniola.

"a two-hour eat, drink and laugh sensation as unnervingly good impersonators of the sitcom run amok" (Arts Editor, Daily Telegraph, July 2010)

" the best show at the Festival...I loved Fawlty Towers, the television series, but in many ways this live production is even better...ingenious...by far, the best comedy show I have ever been to" arts editor, Daily Express, August 2009)

"They should have their own TV series! "   (audience member, Netherlands tour 2010)

                                                                                   Enter the world of Faulty Towers!

Featuring all the best gags and a great meals, 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 you wait in our upper deck bar to be seated in the restaurant of the Faulty Towers Hotel - our main deck restaurant transformed. Then it hurtles along for the next two hours as Sybil, Basil and Manuel serve your meal.  Basil is manic, Sybil domineering and Manuel, of course, is hopelessly language-challenged.  Everything that can go wrong does in beautifully crafted chaos.

This top-class 'total immersion' interactive theatre is performed in the restaurant itself where you, the audience, are the diners and the cast your warring waiters.
