I’m sure you all remember that back in October I wrote that rehearsals were going well for a Llanelli Little Theatre Company production of Fawlty Towers at the Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli, directed by Kathy Bowen.

Well, last Thursday, opening night, I had the great pleasure of being in the audience to watch some spectacular acting, with the most true-to-character performance of Basil Fawlty by Graham Phennah you could ever witness; he captured the voice and mannerisms to perfection.

Gerri Larkin, who played Basil’s long suffering wife Sybil had obviously also studied the character she played in great detail, both complimented each other brilliantly.

The only thing that totally confused me about this performance was why on earth was it only running for 2 nights?

The quality of the acting, the effort that went into learning their lines and some of the best comedy timing I’ve seen had the audience in stitches, the show was worthy of at least a month’s run, and could easily have done a six-month run around the country.

If you ever get a chance to see this show again, grab those tickets with both hands!
