Fawlty Towers is back.
The renowned BBC comedy series came to life on the New West stage last season with a highly successful production by the Vagabond Players.
Now it's back - with three new episodes onstage for the final production of the Vagabond Players' 2013/14 season.
More Fawlty Towers stars Ryan J. Johnson as the hotel owner, Basil, Nancy Ebert as his wife, Sybil, William Valenzuela as the waiter Manuel and Ally Schuurman as the chambermaid Polly.
"All three segments are guaranteed to have audiences rolling in the aisles," a press release promises.
The Germans is described as a "hysterical romp that combines falling moose heads, aborted fire drills and a group of visitors who Basil manages to offend every time he opens his mouth in spite of his vow not to mention the war."
In Gourmet Night, Basil and Sybil attempt to raise the tone of the hotel, "but with a drunken chef and a mangled duck, the outcome is predictably disastrous."
Waldorf Salad brings a loud and demanding American guest to the hotel, and Basil prods Manuel along in an attempt to placate the new visitor.
A host of other performers appear throughout the night as various hotel guests.
The release notes that last year's Fawlty Towers was so popular that many shows were sold out and people were unable to get tickets, so early reservations are encouraged.
More Fawlty Towers runs May 29 to June 21, with shows at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $15 regular, or $13 for students and seniors.
