Danny Bayne, Helen Lederer, Paul Nicholas and Joanne Clifton Join Summer Season at Apollo Theatre

Producers have confirmed the full cast for the West End return of Fawlty Towers – The Play, adapted by John Cleese from the legendary BBC sitcom. Following its acclaimed debut in May 2024, the production will play a strictly limited season at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue from 24 June to 13 September 2025.

Directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, the play brings three classic episodes of the original television series—“The Hotel Inspector,” “The Germans,” and “Communication Problems”—to the stage, marking the 50th anniversary of the show’s first broadcast in 1975.

Casting Highlights

  • Danny Bayne (winner of ITV’s Grease Is the Word) stars as the irascible hotel owner Basil Fawlty

  • Helen Lederer (Absolutely Fabulous) joins as the notoriously difficult guest Mrs Richards

  • Paul Nicholas reprises his role as The Major

  • Joanne Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, The Addams Family) plays Polly

  • Mia Austen as Sybil Fawlty

  • Hemi Yeroham reprises his role as Manuel, the hapless waiter

Additional cast members include Greg Haiste (Mr Hutchinson / Wilhelm), Emily Winter (Miss Tibbs), Dawn Buckland (Miss Gatsby), John Hasler (Mr Thurston / Günter), Adam Elliott (Mr Walt), Neil Stewart (multiple roles), and a host of supporting performers portraying hotel guests and staff.

A Comedy Classic Returns

Set in a fictional Torquay hotel and based on the famously rude hotelier who inspired the character of Basil Fawlty, the original Fawlty Towers ran for just 12 episodes but remains one of the most beloved British sitcoms of all time. The stage version draws on Cleese’s original scripts and timeless comedic setups to deliver a faithful yet fresh theatrical experience.

John Cleese commented:

“I’m thrilled with the top-class group of comedy actors that we've assembled for Fawlty Towers' return to the West End. September marks exactly 50 years since the first ever episode was broadcast on the BBC and here we are, still making theatres rock with laughter.”
