Description
Interactive Theatre International presents:
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience
- This internationally acclaimed show returns to Edinburgh Fringe for its ninth consecutive year with a new cast, a fresh format and a souped-up menu.
Basil, Sybil and Manuel are heading back to Edinburgh, ready to serve some fine dining in the form of a 3-course meal, Faulty style. In time-honoured tradition, the show starts as the audience wait to be seated then hurtles along for two hours of highly improvised ‘charm, comedy and culinary chaos’ (The Reviews Hub, Edinburgh Fringe 2015). And with only a third of the show scripted, each show is unique – expect the unexpected!
- ‘This has to be one of the picks of the Fringe… worth every penny (and insult).’ Rip It Up, Adelaide Fringe 2016
- ‘Great frolicy fun for all ages.’ Stage Whispers, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2016
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience was born in Brisbane in 1997 and made its international debut at Edinburgh Fringe 2008. Since then it’s grown into a show that tours the world and also holds down a London West End residency – for which it’s been awarded TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence two years in a row. The cast for Edinburgh Fringe 2016 features Suzanna Hughes (Sybil), Benedict Holme (Basil) and Oliver Harrison (Manuel).
