Nantwich Players are to perform a production of the comedy “One Man, Two Guvnors”.
The show, written by Richard Bean with music by Grant Olding, will run from September 6-14 at Nantwich Players Theatre on Love Lane.
Directed by Maximilian Clay, this is a witty adaptation of Goldoni’s classic comedy “The Servant of Two Masters”.
It is set in 1960s Brighton and follows the misadventures of Francis Henshall as he juggles secretly working for two bosses.
Maximilian Clay said: “One Man, Two Guvnors is such a fun play.
“It has everything from high comedy to low cunning – and even a bit of romance of sorts. It’s a show full of energy, that’s not to be missed.”
The play gained widespread acclaim in its original run, featuring a standout performance by James Corden, who starred in the National Theatre’s production in 2011 before transferring to the West End and Broadway.
Corden’s portrayal of Francis Henshall earned him a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play, showcasing the sheer comedic brilliance and physicality required for the role.
