One Man, Two Guvnors at The Bristol Hippodrome from 9-14 June 2014
Posted on: 04 Jun 2014Triumphantly hailed by the Daily Mail as "the funniest show on the planet", the National Theatre's award-winning comedy One Man, Two Guvnors hits the Bristol Hippodrome stage from Monday 9th to Saturday 14th June 2014.
Embarking on its biggest-ever tour of UK and Ireland, the show has been seen by over 1 million people across the globe.
Written by Richard Bean and inspired by The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni, it's a truly unique, anarchic mix of songs, satire, slapstick and rib-tickling one-liners.
It tells the tale of Francis Henshall who, fired from his skiffle bands, become minder to Roscoe Crabbe. Roscoe, however, is really Rachel, posing as her dead brother – who's been killed by her boyfriend, Stanley Stubbers. Spotting the opportunity for an extra meal ticket, Francis takes a job with a certain Stanley Stubbers – but to prevent discovery, he has to keep his two guvnors apart. Simple, right?
Directed by Nick Hytner, the show was a massive, sell-out hit starring James Cordon during its original West End run. The new production stars Shaun Williamson (best known as Barry from Eastenders), Emma Barton and Jasmyn Banks (also Eastenders stalwarts), and Patrick Warner.
Twists, turns, mirth, madness and madcap fun are guaranteed in this riotous, inimitable production. Book your tickets online here or call the Box Office on 0844 8713012.
