and have a taste of our medicine! <b><i>Masks on Meds</i></b> 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 <b><i>The Flying Doctor</i></b> and Rolfe’s <b><i>The
Dumb Wife</i></b>. Both plays, directed by <b>Gabrielle Houle</b> 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!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
