West end review: The Faulty Towers Dining experience 

Artistic Director Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Producer Jared Harford, and the whole team at Interactive Theatre International are behind the production of Faulty Towers The Dining Experience. This year they are celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. They have now extended its residency in London for another year, with tickets now on sale until December 2023. The show also has further expansion plans in the UK, with a new residency in another city to be announced.  

The BBC’s classic TV series have been seen by over a million people worldwide since the very first show at the Ridges Hotel in Brisbane on 24 April 1997. 

Devised by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Andrew Foreman and others, the show has been touring the UK and internationally since 2008, having appeared in 41 countries to date, and employing 56 actors per season. The show has toured to over 1000 venues, with approximately 400 shows per year on average across the UK, and has just celebrated its tenth year in London, cementing its status as London’s longest running immersive experience.

The TV scripts are not used in Faulty Towers The Dining Experience. Faulty Towers The Dining Experience uses its own original scripts and format. But there are references to famous episodes like the one mocking Ze Germans in the hilarious episode ‘Don’t mention the war’.
