One Man Two Guvnors

Written by Richard Bean

Performances on  2nd - 6th December 2025, 7.30pm

In 1960s Brighton, Francis Henshall, fired from his skiffle band, becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, to collect £6,000 from the dad of his fiancee. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who has been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and 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. Simple. This hugely acclaimed comedy enjoyed several sell-out runs in London and on tour, and now the Civic Players bring it to the Swan Theatre, Yeovil.
