SOME much-loved former soap stars will be among the cast as the National Theatre’s award-winning comedy One Man, Two Guvnors comes to The Mayflower Theatre in June.

A regular at the theatre, Shaun Williamson, best known for playing Barry in EastEnders, will play Charlie Clench.

And two more ex-EastEnders have been named during casting – Emma Barton, who played Honey Mitchell, will star as Dolly, and Jasmyn Banks, the soap’s Alice Branning, will appear as Pauline Clench.

Gavin Spokes returns to the central role of loveable chancer, Francis Henshall.

The actor is currently playing Parsons in the production of 1984, which is just about to transfer to the West End. His previous work includes She Stoops To Conquer and Hardy in Laurel and Hardy for the Watermill Theatre.

One Man, Two Guvnors tells the hilarious story of Francis Henshall who, fired from his skiffle band, becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe.

But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother – who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.

Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a job with one Stanley Stubbers – but to prevent discovery, he must keep his two guvnors apart.

The acclaimed production is based on Richard Bean’s version of Carlo Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy, The Servant of Two Masters and has songs by G r a n t Olding, performed by The Craze.
