New booking period for One Man, Two Guvnors at the Theatre Royal Haymarket

Today, 20 May 2012, the National Theatre’s award-winning production of **One Man, Two Guvnors** releases over 100, 000 new tickets for sale in the West End, taking bookings at the **Theatre Royal Haymarket** to 12 January 2013. Earlier this week **Richard Bean’s** award-wining adaptation, based on **Carlo Goldoni’s** The Servant of Two Masters, triumphed on Broadway in Nicholas Hytner’s five star production. The current London cast of **One Man, Two Guvnors** is led by **Owain Arthur** who plays lovable chancer Francis Henshall. He is joined by **Jodie Prenger** and **Hannah Spearritt** who play Dolly and Pauline respectively. **Martin Barrass** plays Alfie with **David Benson** as Gareth, **Nigel Betts** as Harry, **Derek Elroy** as Lloyd, **Gerard Horan** as Charlie, **Daniel Ings** as Alan, **Ben Mansfield** as Stanley and **Gemma Whelan** as Rachel. With songs by **Grant Olding**, One Man, Two Guvnors’ physical comedy director is **Cal McCrystal**, designs are by **Mark Thompson**, with lighting by **Mark Henderson**, sound design by **Paul Arditti**, fight direction by **Kate Waters** and choreography by **Adam Penford**. 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. To prevent discovery Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.
