Theater Review: Shakespeare & Co’s “The Servant of Two Masters” — An Old Farce, Refreshed

Director Jenna Ware’s adaptation (a world premiere) of Carlo Goldoni’s inspired zaniness puts a delightfully distinctive spin on a classic of clowning.

Theater Review: “One Man, Two Guvnors” — From Brighton to Boston

Director Spiro Veloudos keeps the clockwork running smoothly, not just ensuring that that the actors keep the rhythm, but making use of a skilled backstage crew who engineer (miraculously and on time) scenery and costume changes.

Theater Review: A Supremely Funny “Servant of Two Masters”
