Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
“A shipwreck, a disguise, and a comedy of errors where love is the ultimate master of disguise.”
After a shipwreck separates her from her twin, Viola assumes a male disguise to survive in the court of Illyria, only to become the middleman in a hilariously tangled love triangle. This classic comedy weaves a brilliant web of mistaken identities and unrequited passions where the heart rarely obeys the rules of gender or status.
