ECU SCREENS presents 'One Man, 2 Guvnors'

Event Date
2:00 pm

The Royal National Theatre recorded-live production “One Man, Two Guvnors” will screen at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, in the Raymond J. Estep Multimedia Center at East Central University. The screening is free for ECU students and $10 for general admission.

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 fiancée’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 re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart.  Simple.
