Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s dad. 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. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple. Filmed live at the National Theatre's Lyttelton Theatre in 2011, and featuring a Tony Award-winning performance from James Corden as Francis Henshall.
