Books by Carlo Goldoni

Two plays from Italy's greatest playwright, Carlo Goldoni, are here brought to life in vibrant translations by British playwright and translator Ranjit Bolt.

This collection of plays by Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni includes the plays Mirandolina and The Housekeeper. Both are comedies about women surviving in a man's world. All plays here are translated by Scottish playwright Robert David MacDonald and were produced at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre.

The story concerns the terrible complications wrought by the servant Traffaldino when he gets himself jobs with two different people at the same time. Not all the complications are of his making; one of his ''masters'' is in fact a lady in disguise, and the other master is her lover, but Truffaldino doesn''t know this. This is only one of the comic elements in a plot that sparkles with invention.|6 women, 9 men
