One Man, Two Guvnors is an uproariously funny farce set in 1963 England, where Francis Henshall becomes separately employed by two men – Roscoe Crabbe, a gangster, and Stanley Stubbers, an upper class twit. Francis tries desperately to keep the two from meeting. Complicating events, Roscoe is really Rachel Crabbe in disguise, his twin sister. Roscoe had been killed by Rachel's boyfriend, who is none other than Stanley. Complicating it further still is mobster Charlie the Duck, who has arranged his daughter Pauline's engagement to Roscoe despite her preference for amateur actor Alan. Even further complications are prompted by a very heavy trunk, several unlucky audience volunteers, and Francis' pursuit of his two passions: Charlie's feminist bookkeeper and fish & chips.For more information on this show and to purchase tickets, visit the IPAL website.

Historian Christopher D. E. Willoughby will present a program on health and medicine in the antebellum period. During this time, enslaved people and enslavers spread further and further West in the Deep South. With them, they brought epidemic diseases like cholera and yellow fever. In Sickness Season: Women, Disease, and Healing in Iberia Parish, Willoughby will examine the diseases that plagued plantations but also the women who treated them. In a period of deep medical distrust, women (both enslaver and enslaved) routinely administered medicines rather than the local doctor.The talk will take place on June 3 at 1 p.m. at the Shadows Visitor Center (320 E. Main Street, New Iberia). The program is free to attend and open for all.
