National Theatre Live: One Man, Two Guvnors (2011): Cast & Box Office

After being fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes a bodyguard for “Roscoe” Crabbe, a small‑time East End hood who’s in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s father. In truth, Roscoe is Francis’s sister Rachel, posing as her dead brother after her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers killed the real sibling. While holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, Francis, always hungry, takes a second job watching Stanley, who’s hiding from the police and hoping to reunite with Rachel. To keep his two “guvnors” apart and avoid discovery, Francis must juggle both employers without letting them meet.
