Palo Alto Players Presents: "ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS"

SEE EVENT DETAILS
ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS
By Richard Bean
Songs by Grant Olding
Based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni


Directed by Patrick Klein
Musical Direction by Lauren Bevilacqua


It’s London in the swinging 60’s, and recently canned (and desperately hungry) Francis Henshall finds himself newly employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe, in town to collect a fee from his fiancee's gangster father. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers (her brother's killer) 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 pneumatic bookkeeper, 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? ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS is a hilarious, music-infused farce, and one of the best received comedies in modern theater.
