22ND JANUARY 2015 LULWORTH WEDDING FAIR
14TH – 18TH JANUARY FAULTY TOWERS: THE DINING EXPERIENCE THE TERRACE CAFE, LIGHTHOUSE, POOLE’S CENTRE FOR THE ARTS Having sold out venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House, the globe trotting phenomenon that is Faulty Towers The Dining Experience returns to Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts from 14 – 18 January. Waited upon by Basil, Sybil and Manuel, this is fully immersive, highly improvised and site-specific comedy theatre at its best. Only a third of the show scripted, so anything can happen as you take a seat in the ‘Fawlty Towers’ restaurant. Expect all the best gags, shambolic service and a ‘70s style 3-course meal in this ‘top end entertainment that’s not to be missed’ (What’s on London). Faulty Towers The Dining Experience was born in Brisbane in 1997 and made its international debut in 2008 at the Edinburgh Fringe, where it has sold out every year since. It opened a residency in London’s West End in October 2012 and continues there still. Eight teams of cast now tour the world non-stop. The cast for the Lighthouse shows features Benedict Holme as Basil, Karina Garnett as Sybil, and Olly Harrison as Manuel. Poole Lighthouse www.lighthousepoole.co.uk
