One of William Shakespeare's most popular and brilliant comedies, "Twelfth Night" features a gender-bending/mistaken identity/double-marriage-at-the-end plot that has enshrined this play as a favorite among audiences and critics alike.

A terrible shipwreck occurs off the coast of the kingdom of Illyria and a young girl - Viola - is plucked from the ocean by a group of sailors and set on shore alone, believing her twin brother Sebastian to have been lost at sea. For her own protection, she disguises herself as a boy and goes to work as a page for Duke Orsino, who is desperately in love with the Countess Olivia. Olivia, for her part, is in mourning for her own dead brother and has sworn off romance of any kind for seven years, much to Orsino's frustration.

When Orsino sends Viola (now dubbed "Cesario") to woo Olivia on his behalf, the plan backfires, as Olivia becomes smitten with Viola's alter-ego instead. And when Sebastian (Viola's identical twin) shows up in Illlyria and starts to be mistaken for Cesario...the situation soon spins delightfully out of control.

Featuring some of Shakespeare's most beloved characters (including Olivia's prudish manservant Malvolio and the mischievous prankster Sir Toby Belch), "Twelfth Night" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
