In fact last years "Fawley Towers" broke all records for the Society in atren­ dances - we even rumed people away on our normal 'quid night THURSDAY! I muse say rhar I never expecred rhem ro be sc popular nor did I rhink that I would be adapting and staging all rwelve ofrhe TV scripts. It was a good friend of mine and the CDS, Ketti Kennedy (now Mrs Kerri Hulit), who in 1990 was laughing in my earshot whilsr reading a book. Upon enquiring whar was so amusing she showed me the ride "Fawley Towers". Now Kerri is American and Fawley Towers is very Brirish and I had no idea rhat it had been shown in America on rhe PBS network - in fact Kerri rold me that PBS even had Fawley Towers mararhons. A germ of an idea emered my head, and when Kerri suggested I read the book, which contained all rwelve of the Fawlty Towers TV scriprs, as she rhoughr some of them could be turned imo plays, rhe idea blos­ somed. Thank you Kerri, if ir had nor been for you Fawley Towers would nor have been staged. (See Kerri's Message). What is my favoutire episode? Basil the Rat. It was one of rhe hardest co stage but, in my opinion, the funniest. That we first performed it at the tiny Victory Theatre (above the now deceased LOtd Nelson Pub) was amazing. I have had trouble wirh it now at the large Prospect Playhouse seage which we have even enlatged for rhis production. Only one member of the otiginal casr of Basil the Rar is on stage here and rhat is Roger Carne (The Major). This is the beauey of theatre - it is never rhe same and I absolutely have forbidden my casr ro imitate the TV show. This is our imer­ pretarion and has been very freely adapted. Some roles have been expanded (especially Miss Tibbs) and rhe purisrs will probably hate me. I have [[ied always ro keep conrinuity berween the twO episodes by amalgamaring characrers and referring to incidents. Well, that's my excuse. What is my favourire memoryl Tony Rowlands as Basil doing his Hider impersonation with comb above lip in The Germans. I thought that was funnier than John Cleese. Many, many thanks to all the accors who have parricipated in Fawlty Towers. Ir became such an insrirution thar almosr eveeybody in the Socieey wamed to be in it. Almost all our leading acrors accepted tiny pans JUSt co say rhey've been in one. We have listed elsewhete in this programme all the actors who have appeared in the major roles but many, many more have appeared as guesrs. Tim Walsh once made a very memorable appearance as a dead body (after appearing in the very first episode we petformed - "A Touch of Class" as The Major). Lasdy, thank you to each and everyone of you. Your suPPOrt has been fantastic (Americans will say "Awesome") and it is wirh some sadness that I close the final currain on Fawley Towers.

Message From Kerri (Kennedfj) Hulit Hello Cayman! I'm sorry I will have to miss the Gala night and Final Episode of Fawlty Towers. The first performances at The Victory Theatre were very "cozy," especially backstage. No room to move around and Peter (Sullivan) running around preparing props. What a great Manuel. And the telephone would never ring on cue! I have some very special memories of the construction ofThe Prospect Playhouse as well. The most vivid being when our favourite director, Colin Wilson, fell through a hole in the floor. I had no idea how to get him out! I would like to thank my friends in the Cayman Drama Society and all my friends in Cayman for all the wonderful memories. Hope to see you at Pirates Week.

    Performances October 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 Three episodes of the classic TV series are brought to life on stage. Written by John Cleese & Connie Booth. Music by Dennis Wilson By Special Arrangement With Samuel French and Origin Theatrical Auditions Saturday June 18, Sunday June 19 Thurgoona Community Centre 10 Kosciuszko Road, Thurgoona NSW 2640 Director: Alex 0410 933 582 FAWLTY TOWERS - EPISODE GUIDE ACT ONE – THE GERMANS Sybil is in hospital for her ingrowing toenail. “Perhaps they'll have it mounted for me,” mutters Basil as he tries to cope during her absence. The fire-drill ends in chaos with Basil knocked out by the moose’s head in the lobby. The deranged host then encounters the Germans and tells them the “truth” about their Fatherland… ACT TWO – COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS It’s not a wise man who entrusts his furtive winnings on the horses to an absent-minded geriatric Major, but Basil was never known for that quality. Parting with those ill-gotten gains was Basil’s first mistake; his second was to tangle with the intermittently deaf Mrs Richards. ACT THREE – WALDORF SALAD Mine host's penny-pinching catches up with him as an American guest demands the quality of service not normally associated with the “Torquay Riviera”, as Basil calls his neck of the woods. A Waldorf Salad is not part of Fawlty Towers' standard culinary repertoire, nor is a Screwdriver to be found on the hotel's drinks list… FAWLTY TOWERS – THE REGULARS BASIL FAWLTY (John Cleese) The hotel manager from hell, Basil seems convinced that Fawlty Towers would be a top-rate establishment, if only he didn't have to bother with the guests.

  • Sarjassa Pitkän Jussin Majatalo
    26 sLÄHIKUVA s1/2016 2AMI-ËHKË &- Rami Mähkä +ULTTUURIHISTORIA 4URUNYLIOPISTO BASIL FAWLTY JA "ESITHATCHERILAISUUS" SARJASSA PITKÄN JUSSIN MAJATALO Klassikkoaseman saavutanut tilannekomedia Pitkän Jussin majatalo raken- tuu pitkälti töykeän ja katastrofaltiin hotellinjohtajahahmo Basil Fawltyn toilauksille. Mielipiteiltään konservatiivinen ja patriootinen Fawlty on sarjan naurun ensisijainen kohde. Sellaisena hän artikuloi käsityksiä Britannian yh- teiskunnallisesta tilanteesta 1970-luvun jälkipuoliskolla. Sarjan avainteemojen kontekstualisointi – sarjan komediallisuus huomioon otaen – autaa ymmärtä- mään yhteiskunnallista ja kultuurista kehitystä, jonka seurauksena Margaret Thatcher nousi Britannian pääministeriksi vuonna 1979. Artikkelini tarkastelee Pitkän Jussin majataloa (Fawlty Towers, BBC, 1975, 1979) tilannekomediana, jonka keskipisteenä on hotellinomistaja ja -johtaja Basil Fawltyn (John Cleese) keskiluokkainen, konservatiivinen hahmo. Sarjan muut keskushahmot ovat Sybil Fawlty (Prunella Scales), Polly (Connie Booth) ja Ma- nuel (Andrew Sachs). Sybil on Basilin vaimo, joka on miestään sosiaalisempi ja avomielisempi. Hän myös osallistuu hotellin pyörittämiseen ollen siinä itse asiassa miestään pätevämpi. Sisäkkö Polly taas on taideopiskelija, joka toimii järjen äänenä ja Basilin virheiden paikkaajana. Neljäs keskushenkilö Manuel on huonosti englantia taitava ja asioita hahmottava espanjalaistarjoilija (ks. myös Wilmut 1980, 243–247). Jo tässä vaiheessa on syytä painottaa, että sitcomin hahmot tai niiden yhdistelmä perustuvat komediallisille

    TRABAJO DE FINAL DE GRADO EN TRADUCCIÓN E INTERPRETACIÓN TREBALL DE FI DE GRAU EN TRADUCCIÓ I INTERPRETACIÓ Departament de Traducció i Comunicació TITLE The Influence of Humour and Cultural References in the Dubbing of the Series Fawlty Towers into both Spanish and Catalan. Author: Sophie Ann Marshall Tutor: Alfred Markey Fecha de lectura/ Data de lectura: June 2018 Abstract: Translating humour and cultural references from one language to another can create some of translations greatest challenges in the digital era we live in. These together with multilingual situations, henceforth referred to as multilingualism, can sometimes make the audiovisual translator’s job a difficult one. This dissertation aims to address these issues of contemporary relevance in the 1975 series Fawlty Towers (John Cleese and Connie Booth), translated into both Spanish and Catalan years later. In this British sitcom, the main characters attempt to run a fictional hotel with the help of Manuel, played by Andrew Sachs, an English-challenged Spanish waiter who swaps between languages throughout both series, trying to make sense of strange and challenging situations. We will firstly take a step back and offer a theoretical reflection about the main problems encountered in audiovisual translation. We will then analyse the similarities and differences encountered between the translations, and create a table to classify said findings from the information obtained in the three chosen episodes (“Basil the Rat”, “The Builders” and “The Anniversary”). The analysis of the dubbing into both Spanish and Catalan will help us present a classification of the humour and multilingualism, and reflect on the techniques chosen as to resolve the problems at hand.
