Fawlty Towers experience will provide farcical fun
A FAWLTY Towers experience is coming to Glasgow this year.
Fans of the iconic BBC sitcom are in for a treat this autumn as Basil, Sybil and Manuel embark on a tour of Scotland.
The Glasgow stop on the tour will be at Arta between November 6 and 17.
In a loving tribute to the Seventies’ BBC series, dinner and theatre collide like never before in Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience.
Take your seats at your table in the ‘ Faulty Towers’ restaurant and prepare for a service like no other, delivered by the iconic characters themselves.
With an original script woven through a three course meal, watch as the terrifying Sybil rules the roost, Basil loses it, and Manuel finds he can’t do right for doing wrong.
With a nod and a wink to all your favourite moments from the classic sitcom, Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience is a side splitting evening of food, laughter, and just a bit of audience participation.
The smash- hit production, created in Australia, enjoyed its UK premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2008.
Now, after more than a decade at the Fringe, the production from Interactive Theatre International ( ITI) is set to embark on its first Scottish Tour.
Jared Harford, Executive Producer of ITI, said: “With all the data we’ve gathered from the Fringe over the years, we know that people come from all over Scotland to see us.
“Now it’s our turn to come to them.” Before the pandemic , ITI even programmed their own venue for the first time.
Harford recalls, “In 2019, we did our ‘ massive’ Fringe. We had 16 different shows at our venue.
“It was amazing, something I’d always wanted to do.
“We were planning to do the same in 2020.
“We had put down a £ 40,000 deposit on the venue and then the pandemic hit. We lost everything.”
Although The Dining Experience returned to the Fringe in 2023, ITI soon discovered it was time to venture further afield, and planned this exciting Scottish Tour.
