The Servant of Two Masters

Director: Scott Schwartz

Opens Saturday, July 7 at 8:30 pm in the Mary Rippon Theatre (Preview, Thursday, July 5)

“First I’ve got no master, now two! Why not? I’ve got talents, now it’ll be two paychecks—and I’ll eat double too.” So says the irrepressible manservant, Truffaldino, as he doubles the trouble and doubles our fun in one of the great classic commedia dell’ arte plays of world drama. The crafty clown forgets whom he’s told what, and sets more than one trap for himself. In the process, and quite accidentally, he ensures the success of two love stories. As Truffaldino joyously somersaults from one near crisis to the next, the play comes down resoundingly on the side of life.
