While two thirds of the show is improvised every night you feel that no matter what you do, the performers have seen it all before in their 16 years touring together.
Walking into the Aegean for the Faulty Tower Dining Experience, one is greeted by the delightful décor of gleaming brown floorboards, beige walls and appropriately mediocre mood lighting. The venue reminds you of every awful 21st birthday party experience because they were all probably held there.
The immersive theatre experience is based on the much loved television series Fawlty Towers. The audience is invited to experience Basil's, Sybil's and Manuel's hospitality for a three course dinner.
While the show is as polished as the floor and does extract gales of laughter, it is far too safe and rides on the coattails of Cleese et al.'s comic genius rather than building upon it. Furthermore, while two thirds of the show is improvised every night you feel that no matter what you do, the performers have seen it all before in their 16 years touring together.
The food is rubbish as well.
