The popular stage adaptation of Fawlty Towers will close its curtains at the Apollo Theatre on March 1, 2025. Already scheduled to end in January, the producers extended the show out of sheer demand, giving audiences more time to see this hilarious mayhem come alive on the stage.
A theatrical version of the classic British comedy series was adapted by one of its creators, John Cleese, who also reprised the role of the dodgy hotelier Basil Fawlty. This stage adaptation, directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, is loosely based on memorable episodes such as “The Hotel Inspector,” “The Germans,” and “Communication Problems”

Including in the cast are Adam Jackson-Smith as Basil, Anna-Jane Casey as Sybil, and Hemi Yeroham as Manuel, among many other good actors.
The show was well received from critics to audiences for a beautiful spirit and a knack for humor, thus developing the TV series as a classic. The play was slapstick comedy along with quick wit combined with instantly remembered characters, which became popular among theatre-goers from the moment it was released.
With closing night almost upon it, the fans’ last opportunity to relive nostalgic magic under Fawlty Towers here at London West End arises. Tickets are still up for grabs and the production will keep throwing in its brand of comedy until the curtain call.
This production at the Apollo Theatre presents closing to a unique theatrical career, combining classic comedy and a live performance experience. For those who grew up with this sitcom or who are just getting to know it through the revival, there are the remaining months to appreciate Basil’s escapades live on stage.
