Comment on Facebook

Orange County's exclusive screenings of the Best in British Theatre from the UK's National Theatre begin with one of the biggest hits in that company's history.

‘A triumph of visual and verbal comedy. One of the funniest productions in the National’s history.’ Guardian

‘Sheer, joyous pandemonium. The moments of slapstick are so perfect, they're choreographically beautiful as well as funny.' Sunday Times

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small-time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancee’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister, Rachel, posing as her own dead brother who’s been killed by her boyfriend, Stanley Stubbers.

Holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

In Richard Bean’s English version of Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy, sex, food and money are high on the agenda. James Corden returns to the National for the first time since The History Boys to play Francis.
