The Servant of Two Masters
Hilarity abounds in this madcap Italian comedy of lovers, lawyers, servants, and twenty-seven plates of meatballs.
Betrothed couple Silvio and Clarice are devastated when a previous fiancé reappears, back-from-the-dead. In this wild farce things, and people, are not what they seem - disguises, traps, and tricks produce a whirlwind of mass confusion. At the center of this mirth is Truffaldino, the scheming - and perpetually hungry - servant who concocts a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once.
This commedia dell'arte masterpiece, hilariously adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and Paolo Emilo Landi, promises laugh-out-loud mayhem that shouldn't be missed!
