ONE MAN TWO GUVNORS – RICHARD

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small‑time East End hood now in Brighton to collect GBP 6,000 from his fiancée’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel, posing as her dead brother, who was killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re‑united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple. Based on Carlo Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy *The Servant of Two Masters*, this new English version by prize‑winning playwright Richard Bean puts sex, food and money high on the agenda.
