A Servant of Two Masters is a commedia dell'arte comedy by
Carlos Goldini and was written in 1746. It does what it says
on the can,Venetian chancer doubles income by serving two
masters at once. I'd love to be able to say I knew this
already, but it's running in Edinburgh and was reviewed in
this weeks Guardian. Not sure if it's the same one as Juri is
thinking of. Jane
