INDIANAPOLIS — Phoenix Theatre of Indianapolis announces the Indiana Premiere of One Man, Two Guvnors opening Sept. 24 on the Steve and Livia Russell Stage. This production runs through October 18, with Rich Rand serving as director.
With seven 2012 Tony Award nominations, Richard Bean’s One Man, Two Guvnors is a glorious celebration of British comedy: a unique, laugh-out-loud play chock full of songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners. Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes guardian to Roscoe Crabbe, a small-time East End hood, but Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Francis takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Elaborate hijinks ensue.
The cast includes Nathan Robbins, Rob Johansen, Michael Hosp, Chelsea Anderson, Ben Rose, Chynna Fry, Bill Simmons, Tyler Ostrander, Jolene Moffatt, and John Goodson.
