One Man, Two Guvnors

Rachel and Stanley are passionate for each other, Stanley just killed Rachel’s brother Roscoe. Pauline’s passionate for the sappy Alan, but is engaged to Roscoe (who’s really Rachel in disguise). Frances is mostly passionately hungry and is hired by both Roscoe (really Rachel) and Stanley (actually Stanley), but after he’s had a good meal he’s willing to have a good time with Dolly. A powerfully funny comedy of misdirected love, ludicrous coincidences and one very confusing meal.

Director's Intro: This wild adaptation, by England’s National Theatre, of Carlo Goldoni’s A Servant of Two Masters took the world by storm in 2011/12. Winning multiple awards in England and America and making a star out of James Corden, this gut-busting play, considered the funniest since Noises Off, tells the story of out-of-work skiffle player Francis Henshall, who becomes separately employed by two men. As Francis desperately tries to keep the men from meeting and learning the truth about his double employment, he spins various plates in the air to hilarious results.
