ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS
A National Theatre of Great Britain Production
Love a serious laugh?

 
One Man, Two Guvnors, the side-splittingly funny West End and Broadway sensation is making its New Zealand debut as part of the Auckland Arts Festival 2013.
Receiving five star reviews from all over the world, the only New Zealand season runs from 14 to 23 March 2013 at the ASB Theatre in Auckland.

***** Officially the funniest play on the planet - Daily Mail          

One Man, Two Guvnors happily hijacks the plot of an 18th century comedy The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni. Written by Richard Bean with songs by Grant Olding. It's an outrageously funny mix of farce, sing-alongs, Python-esque absurdity and slapstick that has audiences from New York to London in blissful fits of laughter.
Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe... but Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother... who's been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a job with Stanley Stubbers. To prevent discovery Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.
Tag along with Francis to 1960s Brighton, England - lovingly recreated in all its groovy glory by the remarkable direction of Nicholas Hytner and the punchy, rockabilly sounds of live skiffle band The Craze.
 
Get in fast, get in early and get ready to laugh till it hurts!
