Note from the Director

While studying The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni with my Year 11 General Drama class in 2017, it was obvious that the students enjoyed the plot, the themes and the characters immensely. Their shared enjoyment of the play was infectious, so it seemed a natural choice as this year’s Drama Production. This adaption by Nick Enright and Ron Blair brings a distinctly Australian flavour to the original text and makes the language more accessible to a contemporary audience. I am particularly proud of this cast for the way that they have worked so seamlessly together, creating an extremely fast-paced and slick performance.

Short synopsis:

The Servant of Two Masters is a comedy written by Carlo Goldoni in 1746 and follows the story of Truffaldino, a servant who decides to work for two people simultaneously in order to obtain food and wealth. However, serving two masters at the same time often requires you to be in two places at once!

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. With one disguised as a man, the wily Truffaldino tries to handle the chaos. 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 adapted from Goldoni’s classic play by Nick Enright and Ron Blair.
