An English adaptation of the 1743 Italian Comedy by Carlo Goldoni, “The Servant of Two Masters”, the play replaces the Italian period setting of the original with Brighton in 1963. The original play, starring James Corden, opened at the National Theatre in 2011, toured in the UK, and then opened in the West End in November 2011, with a subsequent Broadway opening in 2012. The show received widespread critical acclaim, being called "A triumph of visual and verbal comedy. One of the funniest productions in the National's history.” And being described as “one of the most side-splittingly hilarious productions ever to be staged in London". The show won Best Play at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for 2011, and Corden took home the Tony and Drama Desk Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play.
