Tacoma Little Theatre opens its 106th Season with the hilarious British comedy, One Man, Two Guvnors, directed by Brett Carr. Written by Richard Bean and with songs by Grand Olding, One Man, Two Guvnors is based on the Italian classic, The Servant of Two Masters.
Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. In search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers who, in turn, becomes our hero’s other ‘guvnor’. Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a feminist book keeper, a self-important actor, and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart? This hilarious comedy received 5-star reviews from every London newspaper and was the hit of the 2012 Broadway season.
