The award-winning play is a unique mix of satire, songs, slapstick and one-liners in which Francis Henshall (originally played by comedian James Corden) finds himself working for both a gangster and a criminal in hiding, who are linked in a web of schemes and romance. Two prevent discovery, Henshall must do everything he can to keep his two guvnors apart.
