Love, Gender and Comedy

In the kingdom of Illyria, Viola and her twin brother Sebastian are shipwrecked, each believing the other to be drowned. Viola, disguising herself as a young man named Cesario, secures a position as a servant for Duke Orsino and falls in love with him. Orsino, for his part, is in love with Countess Olivia, who, upon meeting Viola, thinks she is a man and falls in love with her. Hilarity ensues. TWELFTH NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL is a delightful tale of confusion, love, and joyous unions and reconciliations.
