One Man, Two Guvnors @ Tacoma Little Theatre (Tacoma) (ASL interpreted show)
Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. In search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers who, in turn, becomes our hero’s other “guvnor.” Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a feminist bookkeeper, a self-important actor, and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart?
