Overview of "One Man, Two Guv'nors" from Concorde Theatricals' website:
Cast size 3W, 6M
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 the dad of his fiancée. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who has been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers, for whom Francis also works. Simple. In this riotous comedy, even the audience is brought along on Francis’ madcap quest to serve two masters and get the girl. Full of high-energy physical comedy and crackling banter, One Man, Two Guvnors moves at a breakneck pace and leaves audiences rolling in the aisles.
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 reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart.
Based on the classic Italian comedy The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni, in this new English version by prizewinning playwright Richard Bean, with songs and music by Grant Olding, s*x, food and money are high on the agenda. Critically-acclaimed and highly-awarded on both sides of the Atlantic, One Man, Two Guvnors is one of the great modern comedies.
