In 18th century Venice, a hungry servant named Truffaldino 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. Chaos ensues as 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!). The Servant of Two Masters has a hilariously zany plot featuring lost love, mistaken identity, ravenous servants, and lots of letter mix-ups.
