One Man, Two Guvnors at Good Theater

Good Theater will kick off the new year with the side-splitting comedy ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS by Richard Bean, starring local favorite Dustin Tucker in his Good Theater debut. In 1963 Brighton, England, out-of-work skiffle player Francis Henshall (Dustin Tucker) becomes separately employed by two men – Roscoe Crabbe, a gangster, and Stanley Stubbers, an upper class twit. Francis tries to keep the two from meeting, in order to avoid each of them learning that Francis is also working for someone else. Adapted from the commedia dell'arte classic THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS, this over-the-top and wildly funny play is the perfect antidote to the winter blues.

Artistic Director Brian P. Allen shares Allen says, “I've wanted to do ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS for several years. I've wanted Dustin Tucker to work with Good Theater for several years. When I asked if he would be interested in tackling this piece, I got two things off my wish list: we are doing the show and Dustin is doing a show at Good Theater!“
