    Faulty Towers The Dining Experience

    Enter the world of Fawlty Towers!
    Following sell-out tours of Europe where it won five-star reviews and standing ovations, Australias hit show returns.

    Featuring all the best gags and a great meal, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a loosely-scripted, pitch-perfect '13th episode' of the famous TV series.

    The fun starts as the audience are called to be seated in the restaurant of the Fawlty Towers hotel, and it hurtles along as Sybil, Basil and Manuel serve the meal... Basil is manic, Sybil domineering, and Manuel hopelessly language-challenged. Everything that can wrong, does in some beautifully controlled chaos. Just dont mention the war!

    This is site-specific, 'total immersion' interactive comedy theatre performed in a restaurant: you, the audience, are the diners and the cast your warring waiters in two hours of face-aching fun.

    - ***** the best show at the Festival ingenious by far the best comedy show I have ever been to (Sunday Express, UK)

    - This belly achingly funny show is 100% worth every penny (aussietheatre.com)
