SHOW DESCRIPTION
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
book keeper, 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.
"Splendidly
silly…satanic and seraphic, dirty-minded and utterly innocent." —NY
Times. "…lifts audiences from mere happiness to eye-watering, comic
hysteria." —Variety. "The most glorious comedy on the planet." —Daily
Mail (London). "If you're not having a good time at this show, you may
be on the wrong medication." —Hollywood Reporter.
