Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare is a classic comedy full of mistaken identities, courtly love, and festive folly. When Viola is shipwrecked and believes her twin brother to be dead, she disguises herself as a young man named Cesario and enters the service of Duke Orsino. As she delivers his messages of love to Olivia, unexpected affections bloom, entangling everyone in romantic confusion. Meanwhile, Olivia falls for Cesario, and the very real Sebastian arrives — setting the stage for hilarious misunderstandings. The play explores themes of gender, disguise, and the nature of love with wit, warmth, and surprising depth.
