ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS at Palo Alto Players

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORSBy Richard BeanSongs by Grant OldingBased on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo GoldoniDirected by Patrick KleinMusical Direction by Lauren BevilacquaIts London in the swinging 60s, 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.One of the most hilarious shows I have ever seen in theater. - Daily Telegraph*PERFORMANCE INFORMATION:Performance dates: June 15 - June 30, 2019 (preview June 14)Ticket Prices: $25-$52 (Discounts for Seniors, Educators, Patrons under 30, and Military available for all performances except Preview Night Friday, June 14)Age Recommendation: Ages 14 and up.
