National Theatre’s ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ to open Oct. 24
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society announces the eighth play in the exciting series of National Theatre Live screenings. National Theatre Live is a groundbreaking project that presents the best of British theater live from the London stage on film to cinemas across the UK and around the world.
Featuring a Tony Award-winning performance from host of the “The Late Late Show,” James Corden, the uproarious “One Man, Two Guvnors” was a runaway hit both in London’s West End and on Broadway. Screenings will be 1 p.m., Monday, Oct. 24; 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 26; and 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Cinema Art Theater.
In the British seaside town of Brighton, Francis Henshall has just been fired from his skiffle band. Despondent and desperate for fish and chips, Henshall ends up in the employ of Roscoe Crabbe, a small-time hood from the East End of London. But it turns out that “Roscoe” is really his twin sister Rachel in disguise, because Roscoe was murdered by Rachel’s boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. As fate would have it, Stanley is also hiding out in Brighton waiting to be reunited with Rachel, and employs Henshall, as well. In order to keep both his jobs Henshall, who is also working on a romance of his own, must keep his two guvnors (slang for boss) from discovering each other.
Admission for National Theatre Live is $18 for Rehoboth Beach Film Society members and $20 general admission. For more information and to make online reservations, go to www.rehobothfilm.com.
