Shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, Viola finds herself stranded on the shores of Illyria. She disguises herself as a man, and, calling herself Cesario, enters the service of Duke Orsino, who has fallen hard for Olivia. Olivia falls for Cesario. Viola falls for the duke. And a band of ragtag, rowdy misfits and musicians make all kinds of mischief. How will this fadge? That is a knot for time (and Shakespeare!) to untie. One of Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies, Twelfth Night ebulliently captures the desire for joy, connection and reinvention that comes after we wash ashore following our darkest days.
