Nantwich Players "One Man, Two Guvnors"

Nantwich Players Present "One Man, Two Guvnors" by Richard Bean

Nantwich Players are thrilled to announce their upcoming production of the uproarious comedy "One Man, Two Guvnors" by Richard Bean with music by Grant Olding, running from September 6th to 14th 2024 at Nantwich Players Theatre.

Directed by Maximilian Clay, "One Man, Two Guvnors" promises an evening filled with laughter, wit, and unexpected twists. This witty adaptation of Goldoni's classic comedy, "The Servant of Two Masters," is set in 1960s Brighton and follows the misadventures of Francis Henshall as he juggles secretly working for two bosses.

"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," says Director Maximilian Clay.

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.
