About the show

One Man, Two Guvnors premiered at the National Theatre in the summer of 2011 with great acclaim from both the public and the critics. Every single show was sold out and unsurprisingly, the show moved to the West End a few months later, making the Adelphi Theatre on the Strand its new home. The play is set to transfer to the Theatre Royal Haymarket later this year. This new play by Richard Bean is based on the Italian comedy, The Servant of Two Masters, by Carlo Goldoni. Essentially an English version of the play, One Man, Two Guvnors is set in the coastal town of Brighton during the 1960s. The lead character, Francis, has to keep two guvnors apart from each other in order for their secrets to remain intact. The question is, will he fail? The play is a hilarious take on the Italian show and stars Owain Arthur in the lead role. After a sensational sell out West End season at the Adelphi Theatre, this fantastic play transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket on March 2nd 2012. The play featured a brand new cast, led by Owain Arthur who has previously played the role in the West End and at the National Theatre, along with Jodie Prenger and Hannah Spearritt. James Cordon led the successful Broadway company in its first American production, going on to win the Tony Award for Best Actor.
