Enjoy the comedy of "The Servant of Two Masters" on CWC Theater's Main Stage, 2660 Peck Ave., Riverton.
Identities are mistaken, duels are fought and confusion reigns when the wily servant Truffaldino hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. "The Servant of Two Masters" is the most famous example of commedia dell'arte, an improvisational theatrical form that flourished in Italy 1500-1750, and which influenced ballet, pantomime, circus clowns, puppet shows, Shakespeare, Moliere, musical comedy, Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers and television sitcoms.
Our translation is by the foremost practitioner of commedia in the world today, Marco Luly.
