SUMMARY:One Man Two Guvnors
DESCRIPTION:One Man\, Two Guvnors\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Brighton\, 1963. \nFired from his skiffle band\, Francis Henshall is a man in search of his destiny… as long as his destiny includes fish\, chips\, mushy peas\, and a pint or two. But with no money and a rumbling in his belly\, Francis accepts not just one job\, but two. And there’s more to both his new bosses than meets the eye. Guvnor one\, gangster on the run\, Roscoe Crabbe\, is actually his own sister\, Rachel Crabbe\, in disguise. Guvnor number two is Stanley Stubbers\, a public school toff who may have “accidentally” murdered the real Roscoe to win Rachel’s hand. To prevent discovery\, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart long enough to earn some money to buy some food. He should be fine…but he can’t stop thinking about chips and it’s hard to concentrate when you’re hungry and you’ve got two guvnors! \nBased on Carlo Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy The Servant of Two Masters\, this smash hit comedy is packed with laughs for all to enjoy! \nThis amateur production of “One Man Two Guvnors” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. \nwww.concordtheatricals.co.uk

SUMMARY:Pinocchio - Outdoor Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Childless toymaker Geppetto makes a wooden puppet – little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away\, but instead of excitement only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers.

Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. \nCollodi’s classic has been translated into no fewer than 260 languages since it was first published in 1883.  \nIllyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show. \n  \nDoors open from 2pm\, performance start at 3pm\nRun time: 95-minutes (approx.)\, including a 20-minute interval\nRecommended for ages 5+ (younger children also welcome) \n  \nStandard Event T&Cs Apply\nTickets are non-refundable \nFind out more about Illyria and the show at: https://www.illyria.co.uk/shows
