At the website of Oslo Nye Teater (Oslo New Theatre) the following, among other things, is written about One Man, Two Govnors:

The unemployed, lovesick and eternally hungry musician Frank (called Francis in the original production,Bjarte Hjelmeland) sees his chance for double pay and filling his stomach. He just needs to be able to handle two bosses at the same time, and they are obviously not supposed to know of one another. But the complications line up: A marriage of convenience between two heirs, a murdered groom, a disguised twin sister, a lover and an 87-year old deaf waiter with a pacemaker and grenade shock - to mention a few. In between stands Frank, who in the most imaginative ways possible tries to juggle secret messages between his two masters. Will he even get anything to eat?
