ONE MAN TWO GUVNORS
Type: Broadway
Bob Boyett and The National Theatre of Great Britain present the comedy sensation ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS, winner of the 2011 London Evening Standard Award for Best Play. Breakout comic actor James Corden (The History Boys, BBC’s “Gavin & Stacey”) stars as Francis Henshall (“ONE MAN”). Always famished and easily confused, Henshall agrees to work for a local gangster as well as a criminal in hiding (“TWO GUVNORS”), both of whom are linked in a web of schemes, extortions and romantic associations... none of which Francis can keep straight. So he has to do everything in his power to keep his two guvnors from meeting, while trying to eat anything in sight along the way. Simple.
Falling trousers, flying fish heads, star-crossed lovers, cross-dressing mobsters and a fabulous on-stage band are just some of what awaits at the most “deliriously funny” (The Daily Telegraph) play to cross the pond in decades. Directed by Tony® and Olivier Award winner Nicholas Hytner, Richard Bean's side-splitting comedy arrives on Broadway this spring, straight from a sold-out run in London’s West End.
