Play Summary
In the tradition of commedia dell’arte, traveling acting troupes playing stock characters challenged social norms and politics in the guise of entertainment. In this classic comedy set in Venice, mayhem erupts when the clever—and perpetually hungry—servant Arlecchino concocts a wild plan to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. Amid a tangle of lovers, misers, and schemers, mistaken identities, broken engagements, and drawn swords lead to an uproarious finale where all is finally set right.
