Review: ONE MAN, TWO GUVNERS at Town Players Of New Canaan
by Pia Haas

There’s something wonderfully nuts about The Town Players of New Canaan taking on One Man, Two Guvnors, Richard Bean’s 2011 hit based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni. The original, written in 1743, is a classic commedia dell’arte comedy built on disguises, twins, and glorious chaos.
Review: ONE MAN, TWO GUV'NORS: A Laugh Out Loud Farce Filled With Surprises At CVRep

Whether or not you are familiar with this chaotic style of British comedy, Richard Bean’s One Man, Two Guv’nors offers an enjoyable introduction to fast-paced, wacky farce. And I mean wacky. There’s nothing serious or thought-provoking about it. There’s enough of that on the news. And “guv’nor” has nothing to do with politics. It’s a colloquial British term for one’s boss or employer, in this case two employers. Bean adapted the play, set in 1963 Brighton, from Carlo Goldoni’s 18th century classic The Servant of Two Masters.
