One Man, Two Guvnors
By Richard Bean
Based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni With Songs by Grant Olding, Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott & Geoff Elliott
August 31 – September 28, 2025
A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce set in 1960s Brighton, England. Tony Award winning One Man, Two Guvnors follows Francis Henshall, a down-on-his-luck man who finds himself working for two bosses at the same time – without either of them knowing. As he scrambles to keep up the act, comic chaos, confusion, and hilarious misunderstandings unfold. Packed with physical comedy, quick wit, and a live skiffle band, this modern take based on Goldoni’s masterpiece Servant of Two Masters is a wildly fun night at the theatre.
Running Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes, including an intermission
