Information for Fawlty Towers at Milton Keynes Theatre, Milton Keynes (Play). A two-hour play based on three of the original TV episodes - The Hotel Inspector and The Germans from Series 1 and Communication Problems from Series 2. Following a tip off that hotel inspectors may be visiting and eager to impress, Basil attempts to ingratiate himself with guests that he suspects are there to critique the establishment. The situation is further plagued by a party of Germans, the deaf and dotty guest-from-hell, Mrs Richards, whose infuriating complaints prevent him from hiding a gambling win from his ever vigilant and bossy wife, Sybil. Together they run their hotel with a little help from the unflappable Polly, and very little help at all from Manuel, the trainee waiter from Barcelona who is the butt of Fawlty's frustration.
