There's mony a chiel looks in vain for a maister an' A hae fun' twa aneath ma neb. Whit am A tae dae? A canna wait upon them baith. Can A?. Perpetually hungry and cunning as a fox (or so he thinks), Archie Broon is a servant who likes a challenge - and never one to turn down money when it's offered, he manages to land himself two jobs at once. But Archie quickly learns that trying to please two masters at the same time will stretch his powers of deception and invention to breaking point. Especially when both are staying in the same tavern. And one turns out to be a young woman in disguise. And the other is her lover. And they have to be kept apart - at all costs . . .Throw in an avaricious merchant, an apoplectic doctor, a lovelorn laddie, a lassie engaged to a man who's meant to be dead, and the perpetually inebriated proprietor of the Ae Gulp Houffe, and you have Victor Carin's hilarious Scots comedy of marital mix-ups and mistaken identity! Adapted from Carlo Goldoni's classic Italian farce, Victor Carin brilliantly relocates this gleeful whirlwind of chaos and confusion to the wynds of Edinburgh on a single day. Adapted from Il Servitore Di Due Padroni by Carlo Goldoni. A riotous Scots language comedy. As part of the Year of Homecoming celebrations, PFT is delighted to be staging the first revival since 1983 of perhaps the greatest ever Scots language comedy.| 16 Jul 09 to 8 Oct 09 | Pitlochry Festival Theatre Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross Performance Details => Venue archive |
