Department of Performing Arts presents Servant of Two Masters
Written by Carlo Goldoni Freely Adapted and Directed by Kevin Otos
McCrary Theatre, Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m.
Goldoni’s hilarious masterpiece of the Commedia dell’Arte has been adapted to address 21st century culture. This version focuses on Truffaldino’s efforts to get ahead in the cutthroat cultural politics of Venice by serving two masters simultaneously. Love, deception, mistaken identities and the quest for some decent grub all contribute to this riotous and idiomatic masked comedy.
Admission: $13 or Elon ID. Tickets available March 26.
