The production of The Servant of Two Masters is another play I watched on the university theatre. The play portrays the Italian comedian story of love, laughing, and happiness. Also, the relationship between the servant and the masters would generally be driving the whole play. The servant of two masters is produced to reflect the playwright’s expression through theatre. The playwright wanted to emphasize the theme of love that becomes the beginning and the end of the play. Even if the whole play is an interesting story for entertainment, the majority of the show might be hard to understand and pursue what is going on at that moment. Therefore, I would personally not recommend CU Theatre’s production of The Master of Two Servants because it …show more content…

At the beginning of the show, I was really excited with the archaic decorated stuffs on the stage, such as, closet, candles, and beautiful trunk. These things attracted my attention of watching the show. I don’t denied that the majority of the design elements were recognized one of the great production of theatre.

To let actors being audience, it was interesting, but I was confused this kind of the production. I would also comment on the point of the actors on the stage that was invisible.
