One Man, Two Guvnors Director’s Notes

One Man, Two Guvnors Model Set Design - Set Designer, Court Watson

Welcome to One Man, Two Guvnors, a riotous romp created at London’s National Theatre. Warning! This show has its roots in Commedia dell’arte. “Oh no, does that mean an artsy-fartsy night at the theatre complete with masks and stylized movement?” Well, no. I had many misconceptions about “Commedia;” the biggest was thinking it was some form of “high art” and not the populist entertainment that it actually was. Commedia has more similarities to modern sit-coms and sketch comedy shows than any high culture. The plays included stock characters, stock situations, music, dancing, and opportunities to improvise within familiar plots. So, if you were an actor who could juggle on a pogo stick while yodeling “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” chances are you would make it into the play. References to local politics and the latest town scandal might make it into the plot as well. (Ted Cruz would have been roasted like a rubber chicken.)

Show, and any movie by Mel Brooks. All of these influences play to the strengths of actors, share a heightened comedic sensibility and while innocent, are shameless in their ambition to flat-out entertain and make merry. ZACH was fortunate to engage some of Austin’s finest actors who have brought their toolboxes filled with comedic insights, instincts and mastery. The Craze have worked tirelessly to bring an early Beatles skiffle band vibe to the play so you might feel as if you stepped off the boardwalk and into an End of the Pier variety show. The design and creative team have been equally masterful and I was extremely fortunate to work side by side with Toby Minor creating the physical life of the show. As usual, the staff and crew at ZACH continue to push for excellence and want to make your experience an artistically satisfying wonderful time. So, if you made it this far in these Director's Notes, please forget all of it and just enjoy being a tourist in the seaside town of Brighton, England. It’s 1963, so we’re all younger and as Uncle Milte said “Laughter is an instant vacation.” Cheers!

With that spirit in mind, playwright Richard Bean created characters for One Man, Two Guvnors that have a match to the classic stock characters from Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters, but owe more to 20th century influences. He and original Director, Nicholas Hytner, shared a love of British comedy television; Monty Python, Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers, as well as British Panto’ and Music Hall. Comparison American influences are Vaudeville, Burlesque, and shows like SNL, Modern Family, Laugh-In, The Carol Burnett

One Man, Two Guvnors – A Background Music, Song and Dance Traditional commedia would include song and dance. The innamorati (lovers) would frequently sing duets, they memorised popular contemporary songs, and some characters would play instruments, such as the guitar. Many performers had honed the popular form of madrigali, a specific genre of song with close chromatics and difficult harmonies. One Man, Two Guvnors makes similar use of music by having a band in the auditorium that play as the audience enter before the production and during the interval. They take the form of a 1960s band, similar to the Beatles, and take to the stage between scenes. At various points, the actors themselves come on stage during these numbers and play a speciality act such as the car horns, the xylophone, or ukulele. This deliberately evokes the era of variety and music hall which was popular in the early half of the twentieth century, particularly in seaside towns such as Brighton where One Man, Two Guvnors is located.

One Man, Two Guvnors is an adaptation of The Servant of Two Masters. Richard Bean, the playwright, has altered the names of characters, relocated the geographical setting, and changed various plotting points, but the play is still recognisably based upon Goldoni’s original. Bean and the director, Nicholas Hytner, set out to find a contemporary equivalent for Goldoni’s play. This involved two objectives: firstly, to locate an updated equivalent of 1740s Florence, which became 1960s Brighton; and secondly, to find a British style of theatre comparable to commedia through which to tell the story. The production incorporates elements of variety, music hall, pantomime, stand-up comedy, and end-of-the-pier shows; all of which, in varying degrees, owe something to the genre of commedia. 1963, Brighton Not only did relocating the play to 1963 in Brighton allow the show’s creators to explore the popular entertainment which would have been on offer in a British seaside town, it also fulfilled a dramatic function. The Servant of Two Masters was located in Florence, with the lovers fleeing from Turin; Richard Bean was able to designate that his lovers fled from London to Brighton. This allowed him to involve the characters in the criminal underworld of the East End (the Kray twins wereat the height of their fame in the 1960s) and therefore explain why the characters carry weapons (in 1740s, Italy, most men would carry swords) which is essential to the plot. Improvisation Commedia has its origins in improvisation and this has been retained in One Man, Two Guvnors when the central character, Francis, interacts with the audience. By getting audience members on to stage to help him move the trunk, or asking them for suggestions on where he should take Dolly on their first date, the production is combining traditional commedia with twentieth century comedy. In the tradition of stand-up comedians, the actor playing Francis has several stock responses written by Richard Bean and himself which cover most eventualities, but often he improvises in the moment and this allows the play to feel fresh like commedia would have done.

Themes Richard Bean, after Goldoni, has retained the themes which were popular with commedia audiences in the 18th century. Plot lines included jealousy, old age, love and adultery, popular themes that still drive most television soap operas. These themselves originated in ancient Greek theatre and were passed on via the Romans and Renaissance to the present day. Scattered amongst the plotlines of commedia plays were old gags and punch lines, as well as contemporary jokes and satire. Richard Bean has incorporated a combination of jokes, some of which are reminiscent of the gags of end-of-the-pier stand-ups and some which are politically motivated. (As the play is set in the 1960s, he also plays with historification – jokes built around the dramatic irony of the audience being more knowledgeable than the characters – for example, Dolly’s prediction in Act Two that one day there will be a liberal woman prime minister.)

Pull up a chair, order a delicious cocktail, and turn back the hands of time in our swanky nightclub for an intimate evening with legendary jazz songstress Billie Holiday. “God Bless The Child,”“Strange Fruit,”“Don’t Explain,” and “My Man” are among the unforgettable hits you will savor from the lady who sings the blues.

ZACH Leadership DAVE STEAKLEY (Producing Artistic Director) is now in his 25th season, and is dedicated to creating a theatre of, by and for Austin – a place where our entire community gathers to share an intimate and extraordinary theatre experience. Led by Dave’s vision, the creation of the Topfer Theatre came to fruition, opening in October 2012 with the acclaimed musical Ragtime. Anna Deavere Smith says, “Dave is the future. The YES in his theater’s walls is as palpable as the walls themselves. That YES, I believe, will lead to something brand new, to connect with a broader, more global audience.” With Dave as artistic leader, ZACH has produced multiple World Premieres by Anna Deavere Smith, Steven Dietz, Jaston Williams, Everett Quinton, John Walch, Allen Robertson and The Flaming Idiots. ZACH served as the Central Texas hub of the nationwide 365 Plays/365 Days Festival by Suzan-Lori Parks. Dave created the first bilingual adaptation of Webber and Rice’s musical Jesucristo Superstar, and set The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans with a jazz/R&B reinvention, which received national acclaim from The New York Times and about which Todd Gershwin says, “It was Dave’s creative production of Porgy and Bess that really opened my eyes to the need to finally allow a creative team to interpret the opera in a fresh manner, which led to the recent Broadway production.” Dave has directed many ZACH productions, and some favorite experiences include: Mothers and Sons, All the Way, A Christmas Carol: A Rockin’ New Musical, The Who’s Tommy; The Gospel at Colonus; Harvey; 33 Variations; Ragtime; Next to Normal; Hairspray; August: Osage County; RENT; Metamorphoses; Our Town; Caroline, or Change; The Clean House; Take Me Out; I Am My Own Wife; Urinetown; Crowns; Omnium-Gatherum; Hedwig; Jelly’s Last Jam; The America Play; Dreamgirls; Angels In America and the first professional repertory production of The Laramie Project, and The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later. His regional directing credits include Actors Theatre of Louisville, New Stage Theatre, American Heartland Theatre, WaterTower Theatre, and Pittsburgh’s City Theatre. He is the playwright of ZACH’s A Christmas Carol, Rockin’ Christmas Party, and Keepin’ It Weird, featured on CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, and American Theatre. Dave serves as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre. City of Austin Mayors Kirk Watson and Lee Leffingwell declared, respectively, May 18, 2001 and October 22, 2011 as “Dave Steakley Day” on the occasion of his 10th and 20th ZACH Anniversaries. He is the recipient of the 2015 First Tee of Greater Austin Courtesy Award, the 2013 Human Rights Campaign Austin Visibility Award, 2010 Kick Ass Award, 2005 Austin Circle of Theaters’“Outstanding Contribution to Austin Theatre” Award, seven Austin Chronicle “Best of Austin Best Stage Director” awards, the 2000 Austin Under 40 Outstanding Arts and Entertainment Award, and multiple Austin Critics’ Table and B. Iden Payne Awards for “Outstanding Director/Choreographer.” In 2009, he was crowned Austin Dancing with the Stars Champion, and he has a cameo in Richard Linklater’s 2012 film Bernie with Jack Black.

ZACH Leadership

Photo: Kirk Tuck.com

ELISBETH CHALLENER (Managing Director) joined ZACH Theatre as Managing Director in June of 2007, with responsibility for strategic planning, management, finances, marketing, and fundraising for the organization. Under Elisbeth’s leadership, ZACH successfully designed, built and opened the new Topfer Theatre, which has won significant awards and widespread aclaim completing the largest capital campaign in ZACH’s history. In August 2014, ZACH celebrated the successful conclusion of the $23.5M campaign! Other accomplishments during her eight years at ZACH include creating a new multi-year strategic plan that will move the organization into the next phase of its significant expansion, increasing revenue from single ticket sales by 79 percent and increasing revenue from season ticket sales by 139 percent. At a time when many arts organizations in Austin and around the nation have been struggling, ZACH has grown its operating budget from $3 million to $8 million dollars and has operated “in the black” throughout Elisbeth’s tenure. Elisbeth has led her team in developing innovative new offerings on ZACH’s expanded campus including full-service bars and nightly pre-show entertainment; an exclusive skyline lounge in the Topfer Theatre for donors; and making the theatre available as a red-carpet venue for SXSW, The Daily Show, as well as other major community events. Last year, ZACH proudly launched The Dave Steakley Dream Fund designed to enhance the artistic vision of ZACH’s Producing Artistic Director and to maintain production quality and the facility needs of ZACH’s Topfer Theatre and campus. Before moving to Austin, Elisbeth was Executive Director of Montalvo Arts Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. She led Montalvo’s growth from a small, community-based organization into a major presenting venue and home to an internationally acclaimed artists’ residency program. During nearly two decades at Montalvo, her other accomplishments included increasing ticket sales from less than $500,000 to more than $4 million, expanding the patron base from 6,000 to 80,000 and raising more than $20 million for capital projects. Earlier in her career, Elisbeth served as Administrative Director for the San Francisco Boys Chorus, Education/Outreach Director of the Fairmount Theatre of the Deaf and as department chair and faculty member of the performing arts department of The Purnell School in New Jersey. Elisbeth graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts in Drama and Musical Theatre. She attended the Harvard Business School Executive Education Program, The Center for Excellence in Nonprofit Management Leaders Institute in San Jose, California and served in leadership roles for the American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley, Saratoga Rotary Club and the Arts Council of Silicon Valley. Elisbeth currently serves on the Board of Directors and is Development Committee Chair of the National Alliance of Musical Theatre in New York, and has served on NAMT’s Festival of New Musicals Committee and Executive Committee. She has been a panelist for The Houston Arts Alliance, City of Austin, National Alliance of Musical Theatre, and Theatre Communications Group. Elisbeth has always had a passion for the theatre and performed for many years in summer stock, dinner theatre and semi-professional productions on the East Coast and in California. 55

Latecomers and Seating At show time, all empty seats are released back to the house to seat those patrons on stand-by. If you are running late to your performance, phone the Box Office so that we are aware that you are on your way and can hold your seats. Any patron arriving after curtain will be seated at the discretion of House Management. Our ushers will show you to your seat, if it’s easily accessible. If the seat is not accessible, you will be shown to an available seat at a break. At intermission, you’re welcome to relocate to your ticketed seat location.

Special Needs A Box Office Associate will be pleased to assist you with any special seating needs when you purchase your tickets. We have wheelchair and limited mobility seating in all of our theatres, and provide accessible restrooms, entry doors, and walkways. To access the second-level Serra Skyline Lounge in the Topfer Theatre, you many use the elevator located in the lobby. Assisted listening devices are available at the Box Office free of charge. For more information about any of these services, please contact the Box Office at 512-476-0541 x1.

Drinks and Dining ZACH’s bars and lounges open 90 minutes prior to show time. The Topfer lounge remains open post-show for an opportunity to meet and mingle with the cast. Pre-order your drinks at the bar, and they will be waiting for you at intermission and post-show. Our bars accept all major credit cards, and you may run a tab during your visit. ZACH’s lounges and bars offer a selection of wines, cocktails, and craft beers. Our Kleberg and Topfer bars offer a wide range of liquor selections including our popular wells and single malt scotches. Gourmet appetizer plates and small bites are also available.
