It may sound like a 1970s TV sitcom – a rascal ends up employed by two competing masters – but this set-up has been doing the rounds since 1741 when Carlo Goldoni brought Commedia dell’arte to new heights with The Servant of Two Masters. Richard Bean’s new version for the National Theatre London, set in 1960s Brighton, has been roundly hailed as the funniest night out for three centuries.

This is the sixth and final show at the RHA’s second series looking at emerging artists. Among those featured are Helen G Blake, Adam Gibney, Aoibheann Greenan and Shane MacCarthy. The future of art or flash in the pan? You decide. Well, not quite. But if you really think you’ve found the next big thing, why not get in early, buy one of the pieces on display, and retire before you’re 35 confident that your new, appreciating art collection is going to pay for everything . Well it seems sensible to us.
