One Man, Two Guvnors
“One Man, Two Guvnors” is a comedic play written by Richard Bean, based on the 18th-century Italian comedy “Servant of Two Masters” by Carlo Goldoni. The story follows Francis Henshall, a man who becomes a servant to two different bosses, or “guvnors,” without them knowing about each other. This leads to a series of humorous misunderstandings and chaotic situations.
Set in 1960s London, the play features a mix of physical comedy, witty dialogue, and engaging characters. It explores themes of class, deception, and the complexities of human relationships, all while keeping the audience entertained with its fast-paced antics.
