This internationally successful homage to the BBC’s most popular sitcom ‘Fawlty Towers’ returns to Mount Lavinia Hotel, following a sold-out debut season last year. It arrives slap bang in the middle of a 20-country tour which this year also debuts in Malaysia and Iceland. Add to that performances at the UK’s Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House, all the major arts festivals, and an ongoing residency in London’s West End, and fans can see why this return to Sri Lanka is most welcome indeed.
The Dining experience will come alive at the Mount lavinia Hotel from 4th to 8th June. With Basil, Sybil and Manuel on hand and only a third of the show scripted, anything can happen as audiences take a seat in the ‘Fawlty Towers’ restaurant… On the menu: all the best gags, shambolic service, and a ‘70s style 3-course meal in ‘a hilarious battle of wits, patience, fire extinguishers and fine food’
