TWELFTH NIGHT

If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken and so die. One of the best-loved comedies ever written, Twelfth Night is perhaps Shakespeare s most lyrical as well as his most experimental play. Separated from her twin brother, Sebastian, after a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a boy to serve the Duke of Illyria. Wooing a countess on his behalf, she is stunned to find herself the object of his beloved s affections. With the arrival of Viola s brother and a trick played upon the countess s steward, confusion reigns supreme in this classic romantic comedy of mistaken identity.
