<p>Jokes and innuendo, slapstick antics, mistaken identities and general hilarity. Theatre students at Vancouver Island University (VIU) will present their talents for all this and more during <em>The Servant of Two Masters</em>, a comedic play written in 1745 and on stage in March at VIU&rsquo;s Malaspina Theatre. Opening night is Thursday, March 5 at 8 pm.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>&ldquo;This play, written in the Italian commedia dell&rsquo;arte style, is the original sitcom,&rdquo; says Theatre department chair Mike Taugher, who has been working with students on stagecraft this semester, and watching their work on the play progress under director Ross Desprez.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>The storyline for <em>The Servant of Two Masters</em> involves a servant named Truffaldino who attempts to better his financial situation by attempting to serve two masters at once. Much of the comedy arises from his attempts to keep ahead of his two masters as letters and money exchanges get tangled in confusion. Hidden identities and the antics of Truffaldino create much confusion, but it all ends happily with the social and romantic aspirations of various characters fulfilled.</p>=0D=0A=
