The Guthrie Theater presents
the Yale Repertory Theatre production of
The Servant of Two Masters
by Carlo Goldoni
adapted by Constance Congdon
further adapted by Steven Epp and Christopher Bayes
from a translation by Christina Sibul
directed by Christopher Bayes

Direct from critically acclaimed runs at Yale Repertory and Shakespeare Theatre Company, The Servant of Two Masters arrives at the Guthrie under the direction of former Guthrie company member Christopher Bayes, starring Steven Epp (Theatre de la Jeune Lune) as the wily servant Truffaldino and Guthrie favorite Sarah Agnew as the strong-willed Beatrice. A high-flung/low-brow comedy about a hungry servant who hatches a scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once, the show features an amazing cast serving up fine singing, chicken dancing, fish juggling and pop culture references from Skype to Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.” Whether it’s date night or ladies’ night, you don’t want to miss this sometimes bawdy, always charming hit The Washington Post hailed as a “bowlful of joy!”

 

"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."-- New York Times

Run Time: 2 hours 25 minutes including one intermission.

This show contains scenes of a ridiculously silly nature, naughty words, and wide-ranging humor including: sophomoric, slapstick, farcical, satiric, off-color, etc.
