The Servant of Two Masters

Seattle Public Theater (SPT) Youth presents an all-new take on Carlo Goldoni’s classic farce, The Servant of Two Masters adapted and directed by Gregory Award-winner, Shawn Belyea. Based on Goldini’s 1743 classic of Commedia dell’arte, The Servant of Two Masters tells the tale of woebegone servant Truffaldino who encounters young Beatrice disguised as her dead brother on the hunt for his murderer. Driven to rash decisions thanks to his constant state of hunger, Truffaldino agrees to serve both Beatrice and his other master, Florindo. Hilarious events are set in motion as Truffaldino races from one end of Venice to the other in a desperate attempt to appease both masters, all for the promise of an additional meal. Alive with colorful stock Commedia characters and endless slapstick humor, The Servant of Two Masters promises a raucous and hilarious joyride for all ages.
