ONE Man, Two Guvnors is a play you will want to see again and again for its humour, energy and unpretentious script.

After a hugely successful run at The National Theatre it begins touring next week to just five venues in the UK, including Aylesbury, before moving to the West End.

James Corden, who hails from Hazlemere, stars as Francis Henshall in a strong cast.

It follows Henshall as he struggles to cope with the daunting and confusing task of having two 'guvnors'- not as easy as it sounds.

It is a new play based on The Servant of Two Masters and has slapstick, gags and the audience laughing out loud throughout.

It is set in Brighton in 1963 where Henshall finds himself working for Rachel Crabbe, who is disguised as her dead brother, and Stanley Stubbers, who killed Rachel's brother and is also her secret lover. Of course neither boss is aware the other is in Brighton.

Corden proves himself as an extremely talented actor with perfect comedy timing- both verbally and physically.

He holds the stage and his interaction with the audience is extremely quick witted.

One of the best moments was when he got two well-mannered boys onstage from the audience, to carry his case, called Frederick and Xavier.

Keeping back the laughter he said he was worried the boys were already more educated than him at the age of 11 and said, as they lifted the case, this would be the only hard labour they would ever do.

Henshall is desperately hungry throughout the first half of the play which leads to a brilliant scene where he is forced to serve two dinners at the same time. It seems to get ridiculously out of control and the actors are clearly enjoying themselves.

The second half follows Henshall as he tries to woo the glorious Dolly, played brilliantly by Suzie Toase.

Oliver Chris is funny as over the top toff, Stanley Stubbers, as is Daniel Rigby who plays the aspiring actor, Alan Dangle.

The play is more than two hours long but it does not feel like this as there is so much happening onstage.

It is a real treat that this play is coming to Aylesbury Waterside Theatre next week and there are only limited tickets remaining. One Man, Two Guvnors is at Aylesbury from September 27 to October 1 at 7.30pm with Thursday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm. Tickets range from £13.50 to £26.50 from 08448717607 or go to www.ambassadortickets.com/aylesbury.
