Hurrah! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On June 17th - 19th Tight Fit Theatre in the Community presents A SERVANT TO TWO MASTERS ------------------------ at the Wycombe Swan Town Hall (Did I mention, I'm in it? ;-) Tight Fit Theatre in the Community presents Carlo Goldoni's hilarious play in a new adaptation by Lee Hall, originally penned for the RSC. This bawdy comedy is guaranteed to provide a sparkling evening in the theatre, performed by an amateur company under the direction of Tight Fit Theatre's Artistic Director, Mark Oldknow. Truffaldino is an out of work servant, and in one fantastic day he ends up with two jobs. And why not? - he's broke and hungry. Two jobs means twice as much money, twice as much food and twice as much work! His two masters, meanwhile, are just as busy. Separated lovers on the run, they end up in the same inn, each unaware that the other is there. Which isn't difficult seeing that one of them is in drag. Confusion abounds in Carlo Goldoni's comedy of disguise, deception, love and longing. An amateur production by arrangement with Samuel French Ltd Want to know more or book tickets? Like a laugh? Don't miss it. Don't worry, I'll only spoil it for a couple of pages . . . ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On August 23rd - 27th Tight Fit Theatre in Education will be holding its SUMMER PROJECT 2004 ------------------- at the Curzon Centre, Beaconsfield Since 1997 we have been providing a week long Summer School for Young People with an interest in the theatre.
