Brother and sister Viola and Sebastian, who are not only very close but look a great deal alike, are in a shipwreck, and both think the other dead. When she lands in a foreign country, Viola dresses as her brother and adopts the name Cesario, becoming a trusted friend and confidante to the Count Orsino. Orsino is madly in love with the lady Olivia, who is in mourning due to her brother's recent death, which she uses as an excuse to avoid seeing the count, whom she does not love. He sends Cesario to do his wooing, and Olivia falls in love with the disguised maiden. Things get more complicated in this bittersweet Shakespeare comedy when a moronic nobleman, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and a self-important servant, Malvolio, get caught up in the schemes of Olivia's cousin, the obese, alcoholic Sir Toby, who leads each to believe Olivia loves him. As well, Sebastian surfaces in the area, and of course there is Feste, the wise fool, around to keep everything in perspective and to marvel, like we the audience, at the amazing things happening all around.

  • will someone just breifly explain to me ( in the form of an essay ) and discuss the theme of 'misteken idendity" in the play and how misrepresenting one's identity creats tension. just wondering no big deal (include a thesis if you can)

  • time to study

    Good to see the art of detecting irony (or sarcasm if you will) is not lost.

  • how many people are doing the twelfth night for their play? My drama club is doin it and i'm going to play olivia! :) i'm excited

  • @dwgryph Too bad for you! This is far superior in content and acting ability than anything you will ever see in GH. And the rip off is in fact the other way around. This is Shakespeare after all!
