This work forms part of the tenth-anniversary celebrations of the

history in the context of the university's environment.

The Servant of Two Masters - rough and tumble, lightning paced
world of street theatre and strolling players - is the crowning
glory of the Commedia del'Arte tradition that so influenced
Shakespeare's comedies and western theatrics. Truffaldino couldn't
be happier with his change of circumstance balancing two jobs and
earning double the wage. But his 'masters' turn out to be separated
lovers on the run staying at the same inn. Hoop-la and hilarity
take hold in this comedy of love gone wrong and mistaken identity
in romantic Venice. This version of the play was produced by Bell
Shakespeare - to critical acclaim - in 2003 with a return season in
2004.
Felicity and Tom both have busy lives and demanding careers. Tom is
travelling when Felicity receives a call from an American boyfriend
from her past (2 acts, 3 men, 3 women).
Gerry is a documentary filmmaker who, one day each year, follows
five children around with a camera. He shows the results annually
on television. Yet for the children who grow up under Gerry's (and
the nation's) watchful eye, the experience creates its own dynamic.
Are the participants his subjects, his children, or his creations?
What responsibility does a storyteller have, to his subjects, his
audience, and himself? How much does Gerry take? Does the presence
of the camera distort the lives it is supposed to be capturing?
Spanning more than twenty years, this play invites you into a world
of fractured celebrity and distorted vision. (5 male, 4 female).
