Show details :
Richard Bean’s hilarious update of Servant of Two Masters (1743) brings the action to Brighton in 1963. Adapted by Bean for the National Theatre in 2011 with James Cordon starring as the unwitting Frances Henshall, the show has since stormed the UK, had Broadway in stitches, and has been seen all over the world in an international tour.
After his skiffle band fires him, the nice-but-dim Frances Henshall inadvertently becomes employed by two men who mustn’t know he is employed by the other. One employer, Stanley Stubbers, is a criminal of class, and the other, Roscoe Crabbe, is a local gangster.
Little does Frances know, Roscoe is actually Rachel, impersonating her twin brother who was killed by none other than her lover, Stanley Stubbers. A One Man Two Guvnors theatre break will have you weeping with laughter at this tour de farce of masterful comedy.

Reviews :
“Of all the feel-good shows in London, this is the funniest” - Sunday Times
“Forget your cares at the funniest show in town” - Daily Telegraph
“The funniest show in the western world” - Daily Mail
“A triumph of visual and verbal comedy. One of the funniest productions in the National's history” - The Guardian
Interesting facts :
- In the Commedia dell’arte tradition, the play has lots of audience interaction. Frances has often been played by stand-up comics, including James Cordon, who originated the role, and Rufus Hound
- In its final week of rehearsals, the show squeezed 100 A-Level students into their rehearsal room to find out which of the scenes were too long, when the plot wasn’t clear, or the action not funny enough
- One Man Two Guvnors is part of a storm of National Theatre shows in the West End in recent years – in early 2013 the National had 8 shows simultaneously playing all over London, one of which was One Man Two Guvnors
