John Cleese gave a typically honest verdict after watching Fawlty Towers The Play in action for the first time today. The stage version of the iconic sitcom begins previews next week
Comic actor John Cleese has said he is "too tired to be unpleasant" nowadays - having accepted that those at the top "have no idea" what they are doing.
John Cleese says farce is best seen in the theater as he brings a new stage version of his classic 1970s comedy show "Fawlty Towers" to London's West End. "Fawlty Towers The Play" has been adapted by Cleese, who co-wrote and starred in the original TV series, playing Basil Fawlty, the inhospitable owner of a chaotic fictional hotel in the southern English seaside resort town of Torquay. The 84-year-old has adapted three of his favorite episodes for the play, which opens at London's Apollo Theater on Saturday.
