The funniest show on the planet.

The Westpac Season of One Man, Two
Guvnors promises to be a smash-hit.
Within days of opening on the West End
it received five-star reviews from a raft of London newspapers.
Broadway critics were equally wowed. Now it's time for Auckland to
experience the best of Britain.
A glorious homage to British comedy,
One Man, Two Guvnors happily hijacks the commedia
dell'arte plot of Carlo Goldoni's The Servant of Two
Masters. Fired from his skiffle band, broke and hungry, the
hapless Francis Henshall ("one man") offers his services as a
minder to both Roscoe Crabbe and Stanley Stubbers ("two guvnors").
But Francis' guvs are mixed up in so many schemes, extortions and
clandestine dealings that our man is left in the middle of a very
definite muddle. Solution? Do everything in his power to keep his
two guvnors from meeting. Simple? Not really.
Saturated with satire, slapstick,
sing-alongs and Python-esque absurdity, One Man, Two
Guvnors had everyone buckled over in fits of laughter during
its West End and Broadway seasons. You too will be laughing
long after you've left the theatre.
Tag along with Francis to 1960s
Brighton, England - lovingly recreated in all its groovy glory by
the brilliant writing of Richard Bean, the remarkable direction of
Nicholas Hytner and with an energetic, original score from fabulous
on-stage skiffle band, The Craze.
Get in fast, get in early and get
ready to laugh 'til it hurts!
# In a nutshell: Laugh-out-loud
comedy, five-star performances, toe-tapping live music.
A new play by Richard Bean based
on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni, with songs
