The Servant of Two Masters (Revised Director's Version)

“Director Christopher Bayes’ and star Steven Epp’s adaptation on Carlo Goldoni’s 18th century Commedia dell’arte piece…is pure comedy gold.”Broadway World Seattle “The play…sublimely directed by Christopher Bayes—provides an equivalent bowlful of joy…deliriously happy-making version of Carlo Goldoni’s THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS. Bayes and company, egged on by adapter Constance Congdon’s buoyant script…consistently locate Goldoni’s sweet spot.”Washington Post “This production revels in the transformative power of theater. The laughter would be quite enough to propel THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS onto a theater lover’s must-see list. But then there’s the magic. Now that’s theater!”The New York Times “An uproarious, unapologetically lowbrow, compulsively enjoyable excursion into the outer realms of farce.”Boston Globe
