Following runs starring James Corden on Broadway, The West End & sell-out national tours, Sheffield audiences can now enjoy this hilarious, award winning and Tony nominated show when Midland Players present the regional amateur premier of One Man, Two Guvnors at the University Drama Studio from March 23rd to 26th.
The play is Richard Bean’s English adaptation of the 1743 classic commedia dell'arte play, Servant of Two Masters by Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni.
In Richard Bean’s version Venice is replaced by Brighton in the 1960s where an easily confused Francis Henshall ends up in the employ of sadistic gangster Roscoe Crabbe. Despondent, desperate and starving he is also hired by Stanley Stubbers, an upper class criminal on the run after murdering Roscoe… but if Roscoe is dead, who would pretend to be him and why? Francis struggles to keep his wits and keep his two Guvnors in the dark, as events take ever more hilarious turns
Find out why the Daily Mail described One Man, Two Guvnors as ‘Officially the funniest show on the planet’ by getting your tickets from www.midlandplayers.co.uk, or calling (07928) 276383.

Hello, everyone! I'm Sophia, and I came across your post regarding Richard Bean's One Man, Two Guvnors. Anyway, at the time, I was watching Periodic Reports, which The Guardian called "a triumph of visual and verbal comedy." One Man, Two Guvnors is a wonderful celebration of British comedy, including a one-of-a-kind, laugh-out-loud blend of satire, slapstick, and sparkling one-liners. Thank you for giving this useful information.
