NT Live: One Man, Two Guvnors
National Theatre Film Series National Theatre Film Series Presents One Man,
Two Guvnors
by Richard Bean
based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni, with songs by Grant Olding
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 cinemas 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.
