James Corden plans to star in a London revival of Richard Bean's hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors, according to Deadline. Nicholas Hytner, currently directing Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theatre in London, told Baz Bamigboye of Deadline that Corden was looking to return to the stage following his departure from hosting American talkshow 'The Late Late Show with James Corden'.

Corden previously worked with Hytner on The History Boys. Hytner's original production proved a major hit for the National Theatre, transferring to the Adelphi and Haymarket theatre's in the the West End, the Music Box theatre on Broadway, followed by two UK tours and an international tour.

Richard Bean's English version of Carlo Goldoni's classic Italian comedy The Servant of Two Masters, is a glorious celebration of British comedy – a unique, laugh-out-loud mix of satire, songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners.

The Theatre Royal Haymarket dates back to 1720 and is the third-oldest London theatre still in use. The theatre has presided over a number of firsts, including the first theatre in London to hold a matinee performance in 1873, a custom that was swiftly adopted by all other theatres. Other long-running plays at the theatre include Yellow Sands in 1926 and 1927 starring Ralph Richardson which ran for 610 performances.

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.
