Fawlty Towers by John Cleese & Connie Booth

In mid August, Wyong Drama Group presented three episodes of the ever-popular Fawlty Towers television show by John Cleese and Connie Booth.  We last performed three episodes in April 2006, and it was one of the most popular shows ever presented by WDG.  These productions were directed (again) by Pam Campbell, this time around the episodes were the first one in the TV series A Touch of Class (aka Lord Melbury), Communication Problems (aka Mrs Richards) and The Hotel Inspectors.  They are three different episodes to the 2006 selections, so WDG will have produced 50% of Fawlty Towers in the 2000s (historical buffs will note that we produced three Fawlty episodes in the early 80s).

The shows were extremely well patronised with minimum houses of 250 people at each show, and some actually exceeding 300!  This just goes to prove how popular the shows are, and Cleese and Booth have created an incredibly long lasting legacy by writing the series in the mid and late 1970s.
