The Servant of Two Masters

The NHB Drama Classi series presents the world's greatest plays in affordable, highly readable editions for students, actors and theatregoers. The hallmarks of the series are accessible introductions (focussing on the play's theatrical and historical background, together with an author biography, key dates and suggestions for further reading) and the complete text, uncluttered with footnotes. The translations, by leading experts in the field, are accurate and above all actable. The editions of English-language plays include a glossary of unusual words and phrases to aid understanding.
Over two hundred and fifty years since it was written, The Servant of Two Masters, a classic of Italian comedy, remains blisteringly hilarious and relevant.
Disguising herself as her dead brother, Beatrice travels to Venice to find Florindo, the man responsible for his death. However her servant, Truffaldino, enters into the pay of Florindo and struggles to keep his two lives and masters separate.

    SMERALDINA. Dear mistress, what would you do? All men are cruel, more or less. They demand absolute fidelity from us, and on the slightest suspicion, they torment us, abuse us, and like as not see us to our graves. But you’ve got to marry one or other of them

    Nonsense, that’s typical of women, you’re making it up.

    e were all like you, we certainly would. As my old mother used to say: it’s the men that cause the shame, and the women get the blame. People say women are unfaithful, but with men it’s one infidelity after another. Women get talked about, but nobody says a word about men. We get criticised, and you get away with murder. And d’you know why? Because it’s men who make the laws. If it was women, it’d be a different story. If I was in charge, I’d make every unfaithful man carry a tree branch – and all the towns would look like forests! (Goes out.)
