Photo Flash: First Look at Cincinnati Shakespeare's ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS
By: BWW News Desk Jun. 10, 2015
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company concludes its season with the premiere of the much anticipated and hilarious "One Man, Two Guvnors" by Richard Bean based on "The Servant of Two Masters" by Carlo Goldoni with songs by Grant Olding. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!
"One Man, Two Guvnors" promises to be a riotous bash of a production complete with a colorful cast of characters in a hysterical world of mistaken identities, love triangles, and live music not to be missed. This production is directed by CSC Producing Artistic Director, Brian Isaac Phillips and features a large cast of Cincinnati Shakespeare's Resident Ensemble members including Matthew Lewis Johnson, Justin McCombs and Caitlin McWethy joined on stage by a skiffle band of live musicians! The production design is generously sponsored by Thompson Hine and Matson Money.
The Tony-award winning smash comedy that wowed audiences in London's West End and on Broadway now premieres in Cincinnati! Fast-talking Francis Henshall (Matthew Lewis Johnson) finds himself in a sticky predicament when, in his constant quest for a quick buck and a bite to eat, he ends up simultaneously working for two rival masters (Justin McCombs and Caitlin McWethy). This raucous new adaptation of Goldoni's classic Italian comedy, "Servant of Two Masters" sets the story in 1960's Brighton, England and is filled with improvisation, audience interaction, and even a real live skiffle band. Lauded as "comic perfection" and "the funniest show in the western world", "One Man, Two Guvnors" promises to be a side-splitting evening of theatre unlike anything else.
Performances of "One Man, Two Guvnors" are scheduled from June 12- July 5, 2015 on Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. There is no performance on June 14th or July 4th. Preview performances are tonight, June 10 and Thursday, June 11 at 7:30pm and tickets are $21. The theater is located at 719 Race Street, downtown Cincinnati, two blocks west of the Aronoff Center.
