WE are delighted to announce that the National Theatre’s smash-hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors is coming back to Edinburgh for eight performances at the Festival Theatre in February (Monday 16th – Saturday 21st).
Following its sell-out run at the King’s Theatre in October 2011, the show is back as part of an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland until March 2015. And in conjunction with the Festival Theatre we have three pairs of tickets up for grabs for the show on Tuesday 17th February at 7.30pm. Now seen by over one million people worldwide, the National Theatre’s internationally-acclaimed smash-hit, described as a glorious celebration of British comedy and a unique laugh-out-loud mix of satire, songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners, has been hailed as a ‘comic classic’ by The Guardian, and ‘inspired and deliriously funny’ by The Daily Telegraph.
Richard Bean’s award-winning play is a glorious celebration of British comedy – a unique, laugh-out-loud mix of satire, songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners.
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 one Stanley Stubbers – but to prevent discovery, he must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.
One Man, Two Guvnors opened at the National Theatre in May 2011. In November that year, after its first UK tour, the show transferred to the Adelphi Theatre where it completed a sell out run.
The show then transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket where it continued to play until its final West End performance on 1st March 2014. The Broadway production of One Man, Two Guvnors completed a successful run at the Music Box Theatre in 2012. A second UK tour ran from September 2012 to February 2013 and the International tour recently completed its run at the Arts Centre, Melbourne, having played across Australia as well as Hong Kong and New Zealand.
To win tickets for the show on 17th February get a Times and get your entry in by Wednesday 21st to the Times Office, Bank Street, Lochgelly.
