The Servant of two Masters by Carlo Goldoni

Hunger is the mother of invention, which is how Truffaldino-Arlecchino, a shrewd operator, ends up with two masters on his back. And while he needs them if he’s to eat, he’d better make sure they don’t find out about each other – even if they are staying in the same inn. Well, he got himself into this on-stage mess, so he’ll have to use all his wits and wiles to get himself out of it.
 
Goldoni’s playful comedy may owe much to the tropes of the Commedia dell’arte, but it is also closely observant of the society of its day. Giannis Kakleas is an innovative director at the helm of a fine cast with the exceptional Vasilis Charalambopoulos in the role of the most innocent yet canny servant in the history of the stage.
