“The National Theatre is on a roll unmatched in its nearly fifty-year history. THE LONGEST SUSTAINED LAUGH I’ve heard in years of theatre-going.” – John Lahr, The New Yorker
“HILARIOUS. These guys just want one thing, and it’s to make us laugh. THEY SUCCEED BRILLIANTLY.” – Elizabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
 “GUT-ACHINGLY GOOD. Evenings like this one pass this way but rarely. If I had my druthers, I’d make its restorative powers a compulsory item on ANY PRESCRIPTION FOR A FULL AND HAPPY LIFE.” – Peter Marks, The Washington Post
“I LAUGHED MY HEAD OFF. The man next to me was so convulsed with laughter that I feared his going into cardiac arrest.” – Brendan Lemon, Financial Times
The critics are unanimous! ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS is “OFFICIALLY THE FUNNIEST PLAY ON THE PLANET!” – Daily Mail 
James Corden (The History Boys, BBC's "Gavin & Stacey") stars as the easily-confused Francis Henshall ("ONE MAN"), who agrees to work for both a local gangster (Jemima Rooper) and a criminal in hiding(Oliver Chris). But with his "TWO GUVNORS" linked in a web of schemes, extortions and romantic associations, Francis must do everything in his power to keep the bosses from meeting, all while trying to eat everything in sight along the way. Simple. 
Audiences are laughing 'til they wheeze, critics are rolling in the aisles, and tickets are selling out fast for Richard Bean's side-splitting comedy, directed by Tony® and Olivier Award winner Nicholas Hytner.
*Offer valid on all performances through 7/8/12. Blackout dates may apply. All prices include a $1.50 facility fee. Limit 8 tickets per order. Offer subject to availability and prior sale.
