A SERVANT TO TWO MASTERS

Dates

Production Dates: 13, 14 and 15 May 2004.

Summary

Underpaid. Overstretched. A wily Italian servant gets lucky in this classic 18th century Commedia - brought up to date in a version by Lee Hall. Truffaldino is an out of work servant, and in one fantastic day he ends up with two jobs. And why not? - he's broke and hungry. Two jobs means twice as much money, twice as much food and twice as much work! His two masters, meanwhile, are just as busy. Separated lovers on the run, they end up in the same inn, each unaware that the other is there. Which isn't difficult seeing that one of them is in drag. Confusion abounds in Carlo Goldoni's comedy of disguise, deception, love and longing in Venice.
