Breakdown

It's the Swingin' Sixties and the easily-confused Francis Henshall attempts to keep his two employers (local gangster Roscoe Crabbe and upper class criminal Stanley Stubbers) from meeting and learning of his dual-employment. This Tony Award®-winning comedy is a modern take on Goldoni's classic play “A Servant of Two Masters”. It's a laugh-out-loud satirical romp of slapstick and one-liners, with a live Beatles-era Liverpool band that keeps the party rockin'!

CHARLIE “THE DUCK” CLENCH: (40-60s) A gangster who wants to retire.
