Event: Fawlty Towers at the Apollo Theatre

    One of the items I saw at the British Library was a copy of a Monty Python script. "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Then in the evening I went to see Fawlty Towers by John Cleese. 

    I was in the last row. A sign said it was ninety-two steps up. (I didn't count, I take their word for it.) My view was slighty obstructed, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see everything, but it turned out great. The play was several episodes of the TV show woven together. The house was full, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Many of the audience members were clearly familiar with the TV show. The actor playing Basil Fawlty clearly studied John Cleese's walk and mannerisms.  A great evening.
