The Servant of Two Masters

The Servant of Two Masters is a zany Romantic Italian inspired by Commedia dell’Arte.

Set in Venice, 1700s with historical costumes.

The story unfolds as Beatrice arrives in Venice disguised as her brother Federigo - looking for her True Love Florindo - the same day - Florindo arrives in Venice looking for his True Love Beatrice.

Unbeknownst to them both - they hire the same servant: Truffaldino.

There are many comic near misses coupled with the high comic drama of the other 2 romantic leads (Silvio and Clarice) 'Love for each other’ as they deal with their own helicopter parents (Pantalone, Dr Lombardi, Signora Lombardi) Old-Fashioned demands...

Along with: Smeraldina (Clarice’s outspoken Maid) who is mutually smitten with Truffaldino –

The charismatic Innkeeper: Brighella who knows more than he is revealing – and Renaldo (Truffaldino’s nemesis).

ORT’s Vision Theme for The Servant of Two Masters focuses on: Love and Kindness triumph over all comic mishaps and obstacles.
