The 1960s-set One Man, Two Guvnors, an English rewrite of the Italian classic The Servant of Two Masters, was directed by Hytner, whose production was infused with new pre-Beatles-style rock tunes by Grant Olding; the score was nominated for the 2012 Tony Award. Playwright Bean was represented on Broadway earlier this season with The Nap.
