The Servant of Two Masters
by Carlo Goldoni
Translated and Adapted by Jeffery Hatcher and Paolo Emilio Landi
dir. Dave Peterson
April 2015, Strider Theatre, Colby College, Waterville ME
A contemporary translation/adaptation of Goldoni's classic play. The characters, drawn from the commedia dell'arte scheme to find love, money, and food, all while making sure others don't catch onto the plan. This production sets the actions as a group of traveling players bringing their wagon into the theatre and sharing the show with the audience. With comic chases, flying plates, and meatball juggling, the characters manage to find what they want .... mostly.
