Description

Brighton in the 1960s is the setting for a hilarious and chaotic comedy of errors. Francis Henshall, a minder to two very different clients, finds himself in a desperate situation. Roscoe Crabbe, a local gangster, is dead, and his sister Rachel is impersonating him in an attempt to collect a large sum of money. Meanwhile, Stanley Stubbers, an upper-class criminal, is also in the picture, and Francis must navigate a complex web of identities and deception to prevent the two men from meeting. As Francis tries to stay one step ahead of the situation, the situation spirals out of control, leading to a glorious celebration of British comedy. With laugh-out-loud satire, songs, slapstick, and witty one-liners, this play is a joyous romp that will keep you entertained from start to finish. First performed at the National Theatre in 2011, One Man, Two Guvnors went on to become a huge success, transferring to the West End and embarking on a successful UK tour.
