Charlie Condou, Amanda Holden, Sarah Parish, Lucy Gaskell and Rose Keegan attended One Man, Two Guvnors Thursday 17th October 2013. 

After a special gala performance the cast and VIP guests enjoyed a post show party at Mint Leaf. Attendees were treated to The Gunvors’ cocktails and an array of canapés. VIP Guests included: Amanda Holden, Nigel Harman, Myleene Klass, Gok Wan, Sarah Parish, Jill Halfpenny, Kayvan Novak , Daisy Lewis, Lisa Faulkner, Charlie Condou, John Torode, Cherie Blair, Jenny Eclair, Joe Lycett, Jeremy Edwards, Bernard Cribbins, Nicholas Parsons, Lucy Porter, Gaby Roslin, Simon and Yasmin Le Bon, John Taylor, Gela Nash Taylor, Joe Wilkinson, Steve Pemberton and Emma Barton. The gala was to celebrate the National Theatre's play becoming the longest running show at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in its almost two hundred-year history. During the performance Gok Wan was invited on stage during a hilarious scene which is said to have "bought the house down".

Owain Arthur, who has travelled over 25,500 miles worldwide and performed almost 500 times as loveable chancer Francis Henshall, leads the cast of One Man, Two Guvnors. 

Owain is joined by Angela Griffin as Dolly with Kellie Shirley and Peter Caulfield reprising their roles of Pauline Clench and Alfie. Dominic Thorburn plays Alan Dangle with Sam Alexander as Stanley Stubbers, David Benson as Gareth, Ian Burfield as Charlie Clench, Amy Cudden as Rachel Crabbe, Derek Elroy as Lloyd Boateng and Hugh Sachs as Harry Dangle.

SimonJCLeBON: "One Man Two Guvnors" was BRILLIANT! I laughed so much - I cried so - which made my nose run slightly - which made me cough - which made the bloke seated in front of me.... nervous.

ANOTHER QUIET NIGHT AT THE PUB TURNS INTO FARCE FOR MARCUS AND MARIA

Scene 12:

It's Friday night at the Rovers. The regulars are all seated and trying to relax. We spot Marcus and Maria quietly enjoying their drinks and hot snacks.

HERE'S AN ALMOST ACCURATE RETELLING OF FRIDAY NIGHT'S CORRIE: 

Marcus: (whispering) Oh, here comes Norris! Keep your eyes down Maria, he MIGHT not see us!

(Enter Norris - the room goes quiet in anticipation - Norris sweeps his eyes around the barroom eventually settling on Marcus and Maria)

Norris: Oh, hello you two!

Maria: (under breath) Marcus, it's too late he's spotted us!
Marcus: (exasperated) God help us!

(Maria and Marcus look up, in synchronicity roll their eyes and shudder)

Norris: Just going past and thought you might have heard something about David and Kylie's baby?

Norris: You know it's not like me to gossip but is it true what they are saying?

(David walks into the bar directly behind Norris) 

Norris: Ooo, looks like I've just arrived in time 

(David gestures to Kylie the barmaid to join him at the tables nearby while all watch intrigued)

Norris: You two don't mind do you....?

Norris: (Norris answers himself before Maria and Marcus can respond) 
Of course you don't mind...move it, Maria!

(Norris positions himself next to Maria and begins to watch David and Kylie like a hawk)

Norris: I'll just squeeze in here...

Maria: Eee up, I've spilled my chardonnay!

Marcus: This is MY hot chip...and I'm not sharing!

(In foreground David and Kylie engage in earnest conversation while Norris, Marcus and Maria sit quietly in their corner table - slightly out of focus)

Marcus: Maria did you know I came up by train, all the way from London, to sit in the background of this establishing two-shot - out of focus - and say nothing!
Maria: The joys of being an actor!

(Marcus nods knowingly - they both laugh - rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb)

End of scene 12:

Now, press play and forward to the 19 min mark
