Twelfth Night, one of Shakespeare's most famous comedies, is a play about love in all its excess, about the madness it can drive us to, the pain it gives us, and finally its ability to heal that pain. Twins Viola and Sebastian are separated in a shipwreck, landing on different shores of a country called Illyria, each one assuming the other to be drowned.As a young woman alone in the world, Viola decides to don man's attire and present herself to Duke Orsino, the ruler of Illyria, as a young gentleman, Cesario. As the Duke's most trusted servant, Cesario is sent to woo Olivia, a countess with whom the Duke has fallen madly in love, on the Duke's behalf.Viola does her duty, but in her heart she realizes that she has fallen in love with Orsino.
