ABOUT PERFORMANCE
“And why couldn’t a man serve two masters at one time? Receive two salaries, get double amount of meal vouchers… and take a vacation twice! Or is it better to take them both at the same time?
The adaptation of the famous comedy The Servant of Two Masters by Goldoni is tailor-made to Ostrava’s environment. The play is set in Ostrava, all the characters speak the current language, using diverse vernaculars. Same as the original comedy, the production is abundant in the elements that are significant for the commedia dell’arte—comedic playfulness and gentle impertinence. It is the assistant Truf who is the protagonist of the story full of humorous twists and misunderstandings. He helps with love troubles, he knows everything, he solves everything, he is hard worker and lazybones at the same time. So why not to benefit from two employers? Just don’t tell anybody!
World premiere on 18 September 2021 and the Antonín Dvořák Theatre.
