“One Man , Two Guvnors” is Flat Out Funny.
By Eleanor Cade Busby
One Man, Two Guvnors is an English adaptation of Servant of Two Masters, a
1743 Commedia dell'arte style comedy play by the Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni, adapted
by Richard Bean.
In the Heartwood and Lincoln Academy version the story itself, concerning mistaken
identity in glorious Shakespearean tradition, is almost inconsequential.
