Masks on Meds

The doctors of the Commedia dell’Arte

February 3rd-6th 2010 @ Hagey Hall 180, University of Waterloo

 

Come and have a taste of our medicine! Masks on Meds presents a roller
coaster of events featuring colourful masked characters inspired by the
Commedia dell’Arte tradition, a form of popular theatre mostly performed in
comic mode and based on the skills of the actors. Boasting doctors, confused
bourgeois, cunning servants, and splendid lovers will feature in two farces:
Molière’s The Flying Doctor and Rolfe’s The Dumb Wife. Both plays, directed
by Gabrielle Houle and performed by Drama students, provide the audience
with a delectable taste of popular entertainment, masked performance, sense
of improvisation and actors’ inventions. Step into a world where doctors and
charlatans use both their knowledge and idiocy to cure their desperate
patients!

Where:  Studio 180, Hagey Hall, University of Waterloo

Tickets: $12 General, $10 Students & Seniors
