Featuring a Tony Award-winning performance from host of the The Late Late Show, James Corden, the hilarious West End and Broadway hit One Man, Two Guvnors returns to Penarth’s Paget Rooms on Thursday 26th September to mark National Theatre Live’s 10th birthday.
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.
Catch what The Guardian called ‘One of the funniest productions in the National’s history.’ One Man, Two Guvnors is directed by Richard Bean and is
based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni, with songs by Grant Olding.
Penarth’s Paget Rooms host regular screenings of National Theatre Live Productions, in a relaxed cabaret atmosphere with bar. Tickets are all priced at £10 and can be booked via the Town Council website, www.penarthtowncouncil.gov.uk.
