Fawlty Towers by John Cleese and Connie Booth

Three episodes of the classic 1970s TV series will be performed at the Angles Theatre, Wisbech 23rd - 27th March 2010, directed by David Brammer.

The Hotel Inspectors

When Basil hears of hotel inspectors roaming Torquay incognito, he realises with horror that the man he has been monstering could easily be one of them!  He becomes increasingly concerned as he is unsure who he needs to impress. Unfortunately, none of the suspected men are actual hotel inspectors, causing Basil a lot of frustration.

Communication Problems

Selectively deaf Mrs Richards, the woman with the power to annoy even the most tolerant of people, has chosen to stay at Fawlty Towers, to the dismay of Basil.  When She loses some money she refuses to believe it is her fault, asking for the police to be called and accusing other guests and staff.  She also seems to dislike everyone and everything in the world.  Basil, meanwhile, has received a tip-off for a dead cert - a horse certain to win.  His bet on the horse yields a significant return, but when Mrs Richards reports her lost money, Basil does his best to hide his winnings, but despite all his attempts, the money inevitably finds a new home in Mrs Richards' purse, even after she recovers her own!

Basil The Rat

Fawlty Towers is under threat of closure by a health & safety inspector.  After discovering that Manuel has a pet rat. Basil insists that it is removed, but it escapes back into the hotel as the inspector returns.
