Twelfth Night

A shipwreck off the coast of Illyria separates identical twins Viola and Sebastian, who both believe the other to have drowned. The Captain saves Viola, and brings her to Illyria. Viola asks the Captain to disguise her as a eunuch/man named “Cesario” so that she can serve Duke Orsino. As “Cesario”, Viola falls in love with Duke Orsino. This becomes a problem, as Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, and sends “Cesario” to woo Olivia on his behalf. Olivia, despite being in mourning for her brother’s death, promptly falls in love with “Cesario”, completing the love triangle. 

Sir Toby Belch, Lady Olivia’s uncle, is tired of being in mourning, and so tries to liven things up with drinking and partying. This greatly upsets Olivia’s servant Malvoli. When Malvolio shuts down the party, Sir Toby, Maria, Sir Andrew and Feste the Clown set onto a plot to trick and humiliate Malvolio. Maria forges a letter in Olivia’s handwriting and leaves it for Malvolio to find, which will instruct him to do many things that will make a great fool of himself. 

Later, Sebastian is found to have been rescued by another sea captain, Antonio. The two set out on a journey to Illyria. Upon arriving, Sebastian is mistaken to be “Cesario”, and the mayhem of mistaken identity ensues.
