“...madcap farce, heroic
romance, operetta and dramatic dueling with a feminist slash.
Goldoni's simple but convoluted
story turns on two sets of lovers, two impossible fathers and
manipulative servants....
As adapted by Constance Congdon,
this SERVANT jumps from formal language and fractured Latin gags
to familiar phrases (`sweet bird of youth' and `a palpable hit')
to American slang....
...a silly, stylish tour of
comedy's infinite variety.”
Malcolm Johnson, The Hartford
Courant
“...freshly funny...wickedly
goofy, sometimes bawdy delight."
