Introduction

Twins Viola and Sebastian arrive separately in Illyria after a shipwreck. Both believe the other dead. Viola (disguised as a man) finds work serving Orsino, a wealthy count, who obsessively loves Olivia, a grief-stricken countess, who refuses his advances. Viola woos Olivia, on Orsino’s behalf, but Olivia falls in love with Viola. Viola, meanwhile, falls in love with Orsino, who believes her to be male. Her twin brother Sebastian is saved by a sea captain Antonio, and they form a bond of love and friendship. Confused? So are they. Great comedy is created from mistaken gender identity, sub plots and cruel, drunken antics, as the play lifts to farcical heights.
