THERE’S a juggling act to perform in comedy One Man, Two Guvnors at Leamington’s Loft Theatre.
Set in Brighton in 1963, One Man, Two Guvnors sees Francis Henshall sacked from his skiffle band and out of work.
He can’t be kept down for too long, and soon he has secured not one, but two dubious new ‘guvnors’. There’s just one problem, they mustn’t know about each other. With money to be made and a love interest to woo, Francis has got his hands full.
Juggling the work of a small-town gangster and a man on the run from the police, can he keep himself and his bosses out of trouble long enough to bank some cash and win the hand of the love of his life?
Richard Bean’s celebrated English adaptation of the 1746 Carlo Goldoni play The Servant of Two Masters exploded onto the National Theatre stage in 2011, and was their first play uploaded for free online during the lockdown of 2020.
Loft director Craig Shelton said: “Bringing this production to life has been an absolute joy. The rehearsal room has been filled with energy, creativity and, above all, laughter. Comedy only works when a company trusts one another completely, and this cast has embraced every pratfall, every double take and every ridiculous twist with generosity and commitment.”
The production runs from July 15 to 25.
