Comedy fans in Blackpool are in for a treat as the legendary British sitcom Fawlty Towers hits the stage in a brand‑new live production adapted by John Cleese, co‑creator of the iconic show.

Set to run from Wednesday 1 to Saturday 4 April at the Opera House, Winter Gardens, this eagerly anticipated adaptation promises all the chaos, confusion and farcical humour that made the original series a national treasure.

The stage production stars Danny Bayne as the perpetually flustered Basil Fawlty, Paul Nicholas as the delightfully bumbling Major, and Joanne Clifton as the resourceful Polly.
