The Servant Of Two Masters Goldoni

And now for something completely silly.

Lamb’s Players Theatre mounts a handsome production of its musical adaptation of 18th-century playwright Carlo Goldoni’s “The Servant Of Two Masters,” with book and lyrics by David McFadzean and music by Deborah Gilmour Smyth.

McFadzean opts for broad comedy – think slapstick, vaudeville, street theater – which this goofy plot invites – and a farcical treatment that trades on sight gags and malapropisms, with a few fart and snot jokes tossed in. McFadzean calls it “writing for the cheap seats.”
