The Servant of Two Masters

A Farcical Comedy from eighteenth century classic Italian commedia dell’arte

By Carlo Goldoni

Directed by Susan K. Berkompas

Audiences get served with a smile as physical comedy, clowning and general hilarity are heaped on the table through mistaken identity, double-booked events, and lovers who don’t quite know who to fall for. In this Carlo Goldoni commedia dell’arte masterpiece, the wily—and chronically hungry—servant, Truffaldino, hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. “The laughs may drive you into a state of goofy euphoria. It’s as delightful and delicious a farce as you’re likely to see.”—Washington Post  |  Suitable for all ages
