Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We’ll discuss the play’s origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. One Podcast Two Plays! Carlo Goldoni's Commedia dell'Arte classic A Servant to Two Masters and Richard Bean's hilarious update One Man Two Guvnors. We explore all of the ingredients of the original play in the tradition of Commedia dell'Arte, as well as how Bean translated these so successfully into his smash hit at the National Theatre.
