02 Sep '22

The Cleveland Premiere of this hilarious play hits the Blank Canvas Theatre stage NEXT WEEK! Blank Canvas Theatre Presents The Cleveland Premiere of ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS By Richard Bean with songs by Grant Olding Based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni Directed by Anne McEvoy September 9 - 24 Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00pm Sundays at 7:00pm Rated: PG-13 *This show contains adult language Run time: 2hrs Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. Fired from a skiffle band and in search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe, in town to collect a fee from his fiancee's gangster father. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers (her brother's killer) 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 pneumatic 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? Richard Bean's hilarious comedy received 5-star reviews from every London newspaper and was the hit of the 2012 Broadway season.

Maurice quietly teaches me more and more each day of rehearsal. He informs the telling of this bountiful story. The rehearsal process challenges me every day and I'm as intimidated as I am excited to walk into that rehearsal tonight and learn how to tell this story of surviving life from his uniquely different, deeply human perspective." In addition to lead actor Maurice Kimball IV, this cast includes Khaki Herrman, Terence Cranendonk* (member of the Actors' Equity Assoc), Katie DeBoer* (member of the Actors' Equity Assoc), Nanna Ingvarrson, Danyi Mahar, John Busser, Daniel Telford, Jenny Boswell, Adam Hass-Hill, and more talented local actors.
