Funny-man James Corden stars in this 2011 National Theatre production of One Man, Two Guvnors, the English adaptation of an 18th century Italian comedy. It’s a fast-paced, hilarious farce set in 1963 Brighton, featuring gangsters, disguises, skiffle band music, love, jealousy, audience participation and a general sense of mayhem and confusion. Corden went on to win a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance in the 2012 Broadway production of the show.
