About The Servant Of Two Masters
Product Description “… madcap farce, heroic romance, operetta and dramatic dueling with a feminist slash. Goldoni’s simple but convoluted story turns on two sets of lovers, two impossible fathers and manipulative servants … As adapted by Constance Congdon, this SERVANT jumps from formal language and fractured Latin gags to familiar phrases (‘sweet bird of youth’ and ‘a palpable hit’) to American slang … a silly, stylish tour of comedy’s infinite variety.” —Malcolm Johnson, The Hartford Courant“… freshly funny … wickedly goofy, sometimes bawdy delight.” —Hartford Advocate Review ...madcap farce, heroic romance, operetta and dramatic dueling with a feminist slash.
