Lyric Stage Company of Boston
Copley Square, Boston
September 6 – October 12, 2013
A British takeoff on the farcical eighteenth century commedia dell’arte masterpiece by Carlo Goldoni, The Servant of Two Masters. The plot is very similar, with a touch or two of additional Shakespearean turns. Some of the most hilarious comedy of the evening comes from deft apparent ad libbing by the astute servant (played by Neil A. Casey) interacting with the audience.
