Director?

Yeah, so in my appreciation of theatre class, myself and four other students have to create a production of a play. We chose "A Servant of two masters". It's a comedy, and very funny. My problem is that we have to "bring the show to a new audience". I drew the short straw and have the role of director, not that i mind it, it just places extra weight on me and my grade because the concept and the defense of the concept lies with me. Any ideas? Mark, I am sure you know this play, how could you make it contemporary?

I wish I could help but I'm not familiar with it. Let me wikipedia it and I'll see what I can do.

What about setting it in a modern day office/corporation type place where the girl dressing up as the guy becomes like a personal assistant to both men and all the other characters are workers in the office?

The only problem is that the girl dressing up as a guy is one of the masters.
