If you didn't get your act together and booked your ticket for this wonderful event, which is part of the 2013 Arts Festival, way back in October, then you've probably missed your window of opportunity to see it in Hong Kong. So you're going to be feeling totally frustrated and generally pissed off once you read my blog telling you how bloody marvelous it is.
It is bloody marvelous!
One Man, Two Guvnors is a brilliant play encompassing the basic elements of a British farce with very satisfying door swinging, mistaken identity and trousers down moments linked with Commedia dell'Arte and based on Goldoni's The Servant of Two Masters. So if you don't know (I didn't) have a quick read on Wikipedia and learn.
Set in Brighton (which is interesting) 1963 our protagonist, Francis Henshall, a most cheeky chappy who is on stage for 99% of the time and holds the whole play together, while interacting with the audience as well as making us all believe and care about his character, even when he appears to go out of character - keep your wits about you - which was all part of the suspension of disbelief and I was suspended and believed hook line and sinker.
I loved the baddie, the cad the cavalier Stanley Stubbers, even though I wasn't supposed to, but his line 'Smells worse than a doctor's finger' was, for me, one of the funniest of the night.
I particularly loved the set which was large painted sections of movable walls with a nod to the era using 1960's colour and design (which means clashing, bordering on bad taste kitsch) while at the same time tricked the eye resulting in a feel of the whole stage being much taller and deeper than it really is.
I have to mention the band. So refreshing in Hong Kong to have musicians on view and also looking cool. As a special treat the boys in the band, think Buddy Holly/Beatles lookalike and soundalike, come up on stage at the beginning and during set changes to entertain. Dressed in matching suits and skinny black ties, thier slicked backed quiffs and large horn rimmed glasses add to the 60's mood and I loved the metal vintage microphones.
I had a wonderful evening of entertainment in Wan Chai's Lyric Theatre and it was very convenient to partake in a little beverage or two in one of the many fine establishments after the play was over. Hey hey!
You can get all sorts in Wan Chai
And Marks and Spencer's Food provides a very useful service.
For many years, full figure lingerie consisted almost exclusively of granny panties and infustrial bras. Initially these undergarments were started from corsets which were more bulky and restrictive in late nineteenthh century till the mid of 20th century when the woman was restricted to household work only. Once wee touch the age of 40, we get settled in our life with a high paying job, a caring partner, kids to look ouut foor etc.
