Fans of Monty Python and Britcoms in general will roar at this stage adaptation of three episodes ('The Hotel Inspectors', 'Communication Problems' and 'Basil the Rat') from the hilarious BBC TV series. And if you've never seen it, this is your opportunity!

Fawlty Towers is the best-loved bad hotel in the world, a hilarious romp through the daily mishaps of a belligerent, bull-headed and bumbling hotel owner, Basil Fawlty and his crew of misfit employees, his put-upon wife and a slew of odd guests.
