The new National Theatre at Home series kicked off with the award-winning production of One Man, Two Guvnors. The new series gives everyone a way to watch quality British theatre, from the comfort of their living rooms.
One Man, Two Guvnors
One Man, Two Guvnors is the hilarious West End and Broadway hit starring James Corden. The play opened at the National Theatre in 2011 to rave reviews. The hit comedy then ran in sold-out venues across the UK and in London’s West End. After that, James Corden then went on to win a Tony Award for ‘Best Performance’ in it’s 2012 Broadway run.
Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.
Holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.
