Goldoni's The Servant of Two Masters
Mayhem erupts in Venice with a wily servant’s scheme to double his wages, but as his two jobs converge, hilarity ensues! Through all the highjinks, we see ourselves in the characters - the parents, employees, children, lovers and clowns - of Goldoni's 1743 masterwork. Inspired by the music and physical comedy of Italian Commedia dell ́Arte, The Servant of Two Masters in turn served as the inspiration for the recent Tony Award-winning hit, One Man, Two Guvnors. Directed by Grant Mudge, Ryan Producing Artistic Director of the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, this production promises to deliver a night of laughter as it takes aim at the very heart of what makes us human.
