In this article, the author focuses on the Italian classical comedy by reviewing the theatrical production "The Servant of Two Masters," by Carlo Goldon, and on the changing trends of comedy plays in contemporary theater in Connecticut. This play was being played in theaters by the Hartford, Connecticut based Hartford Stage Company since 1743. The author reports that this play by Goldon is an ideal classical comedy based on Italian drama, by keeping sighing lovers, bumbling servants, far-fetched coincidences, etc. This play reportedly is firmly rooted in the "commedia dell'arte" tradition, about which American actors know even less than they know about most kinds of theatre.
