The Servant of Two Masters was originally written in 1746 by Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni. He wrote it to honor the request of actor Antonio Sacco, one of the finest Truffaldinos of all time. Servant features stock characters in the tradition of commedia dell’arte, such as Truffaldino, Smeraldina, and Pantalone. It originally had large sections left open for improvisation, but Goldoni revised it in 1753 to the version that we use today.
