We chatted to Danny Bayne (Basil) and Mia Austen (Sybil) about the touring comedy play, Fawlty Towers, coming to the Manchester Opera House (Nov 4th to 8th 2025). Karen Ryder asks the questions.
The ‘Greatest British Sitcom of All Time’ (Radio Times) is back – this time on stage! 50 years since it first graced our TV screens, Fawlty Towers is now a brand-new stage play adapted by comedy legend John Cleese and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger.
Fresh from a SOLD-OUT West End season! This laugh-out-loud production was universally acclaimed by every London and national critic, selling out every single performance during its record-breaking West-End run.
Join Basil (Danny Bayne), the delightfully bumbling Major (Paul Nicholas) and Polly (Joanne Clifton), with an 18-strong cast as they bring to life all your favourite moments from the show’s unforgettable twelve episodes. With sharp wit, chaos, and calamity at every turn, this is the comedy event of the year!
Secure your tickets now and relive the madness of Fawlty Towers live on stage. It’s a staycation you’ll never forget!
Please note, we can’t guarantee the appearance of any cast member at any performance.
Duration - 1 hour 50 minutes incl. interval.
