By: Tyler Peterson Jun. 13, 2016
Amphibian Stage Productions (Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director) will show a film of the National Theatre of London's production of One Man, Two Guvnors by Richard Bean, starring James Corden, on Wednesday, June 22 at 2pm and 7pm, and Saturday, June 25 at 1pm, in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
Distributed internationally by BY Experience, National Theatre Live is an initiative to broadcast live performances from the National Theatre's stages to cinemas worldwide. In Fort Worth, the screenings are presented exclusively at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, courtesy of Amphibian Stage Productions. Fort Worth screenings of National Theatre Live began in the fall of 2011.
Featuring a Tony Award-winning performance from the host of 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. Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect $6,000 from his fiance's dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who's 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.
One Man, Two Guvnors will screen on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 2pm and 7pm, and Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 1pm, at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Tickets to National Theatre Live broadcasts are $20, with additional discounts available for seniors, students, members of Amphibian Stage Productions and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, members of the theatre community, as well as groups of 10 or more.
