The West End smash-hit comedy checks in to Sheffield
One of Britain’s most beloved sitcoms comes roaring back to life on stage as Fawlty Towers arrives at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield in this brand-new theatrical adaptation.

Adapted by comedy legend John Cleese and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, Fawlty Towers – The Play is fresh from a sold-out, record-breaking West End run, where it played to universal acclaim.
All your favourite moments — live on stage
Nearly 50 years after it first appeared on television, the “greatest British sitcom of all time” (Radio Times) is reimagined for the theatre, bringing together iconic scenes and characters from all twelve original episodes.

Expect:
Razor-sharp wit and classic farce
Doors slamming, tempers flaring, and chaos escalating
The unforgettable world of Torquay’s most disastrous hotel
The production stars Danny Bayne as the permanently enraged Basil Fawlty and Joanne Clifton as the ever-resourceful Polly, joined by Paul Nicholas as the delightfully bumbling Major, alongside an 18-strong cast.
Why this show is unmissable
This is not a tribute or a rehash — it’s an official stage adaptation created by the original co-creator himself, designed to capture the anarchic energy, impeccable timing and laugh-out-loud moments that made Fawlty Towers a cultural phenomenon.

Whether you know every line by heart or are discovering it for the first time, this is a theatrical “staycation” packed with comedy gold.
