The play tells the story of a hungry servant who, upon realizing that working for two masters could ensure him a greater supply of food, tries to do the job of two men while working desperately to conceal that fact from both employers.
The play’s most famous scene takes place during a feast, when a starving Truffaldino attempts to serve dinner to both his masters� companies at the same time, without either group finding out (and desperately trying to have his own dinner as well!). With a zany plot featuring lost love, mistaken identity, ravenous servants, and lots of letter mix-ups, Goldoni’s classic The Servant of Two Masters makes a wonderful addition to any theater season!
