One Man, Two Guvnors

The Cast

It only takes the stumbling entrance of Doug Santana onto the stage in the persona of Francis Henshall – the servant of two ‘guvnors’ – to ascertain immediately that Palo Alto Players has a rollicking, riotous hit on its stage – one that will surely take its rightful, tongue-in-cheek place among other, past productions of One Man, Two Guvnors.  No great morals, insights, or meanings emerge from Richard Bean’s One Man, Two Guvnors.  What does emerge from the Lucie Stern Auditorium after the Palo Alto Players production is an audience with aching jaws and sides that are exhausted from laughing.
