Immersive interactive comedy show based on Fawlty Towers, played out as a 1970s-style three-course meal at the President Hotel.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is back at the President Hotel in Bloomsbury, and it's a bit different from your usual night out. It's an immersive theatre adaptation of the classic BBC sitcom Fawlty Towers, played out as a 1970s-style three-course meal. Instead of sitting in an audience, you check in as a guest of the hotel, and Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve up the comedy and chaos alongside the courses. The whole thing leans on improvisation: the actors stay in character and respond directly to the room, so no two performances are identical.
It's been running in London for 13 years now, and it's picked up a few records along the way. It's the longest-running immersive experience in the West End, the longest-running show based on a TV series, and the longest-running Fawlty Towers production of any kind worldwide. If you're a fan of the original sitcom, you'll recognise the characters and the kind of disaster that follows them, but since you're part of the action, you're as much a part of the chaos as you are a spectator.
