The set, actors and dialogue took me back to the original Fawlty Towers TV series. The script, set, and especially the actors did a great job recreating the Fawlty Towers vibe. Well done!

We had great seats, but the show was memorable regardless. Good acting and faithful the the original series. The fact that John Gleese is involved is absolutely vital
