A laugh-out-loud mix of songs, slapstick and sparkling one-liners
This January Open Gardens SA and Blue Sky Theatre are presenting an outdoor performance of one of the most successful comedy adaptations ever – One Man, Two Guvnors.
Richard Bean’s madcap adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s 18th-century comedy, A Servant of Two Masters, is set in Brighton England in 1963.
It tells the story of Francis Henshall, a failed skiffle player, who finds himself working for two guvnors. One, Rachel Crabbe, is disguised as her dead gangland twin; the other is a snooty toff, Stanley Stubbers, who not only killed Rachel’s brother but is also her secret lover.
Neither boss is aware the other is in Brighton, as Francis bounces like a shuttlecock between his two bosses trying to please them both. But how long can he keep them apart?
Award-winning director Dave Simms is bringing together a live skiffle band to join the Blue Sky Theatre’s regular ensemble.
As performances are outdoors, there’s plenty of room to enjoy a picnic and a drink from the bar. It’ll be another colourful and energetic experience under the stars.
