Review Roundup: What are the critics saying about John Cleese’s Fawlty Towers the Play?

Almost five decades since the comedy classic hit our TV screens, the first official stage adaptation of the show has come crashing into the West End. The play, which is written by its original star and comedy giant (literally), John Cleese, stars Basil, Sybil, Manuel, and Polly, and features some of the sitcoms most iconic scenes from fan-favourite episodes ‘The Germans,’ ‘The Hotel Inspector’ and ‘Communication Problems’ . The play checked-in some VIPs at yesterday’s press night, but will they be returning to the seaside hotel, or will they just leave memories, and a scathing Trip Advisor review?
