ShakespearE's twelfth night at high seas
Twelfth Night is a Shakespearean comedy about mistaken identity, love triangles, and disguise, centered on twins Viola and Sebastian who are shipwrecked in Illyria. Viola disguises herself as a male page, "Cesario," to serve Duke Orsino, who is in love with Countess Olivia, but Olivia falls for Cesario, while Viola falls for Orsino. The play features comedic subplots, including a prank on Olivia's steward Malvolio, and resolves with the twins' reunion and the unraveling of the romantic confusion, leading to multiple marriages.
