Why watch Twelfth Night, or What You Will

Twelfth Night, or What You Will is, perhaps, one of Shakespeare's most hilarious comedies that blends mistaken identities with a series of unfortunate events. Despite being regarded as one of the greatest dramatic playwrights thanks to his tragedies, the writer was just as gifted - if not more - in the arena of wit and humor, and this play is regarded as one of his best.

The story

Illyria is alive with festivities, but unbeknown to the townsfolk, a storm approaches in the form of the shipwrecked maiden, Viola. Believing her brother to be dead and needing a good cover, she disguises herself as Cesario, a servant to Orsino, the latter deeply in love with Olivia, who accidentally falls for Cesario instead. On the sidelines, yet another plot brews around Malvolio. Soon enough, the cards are all tumbling down, and the tale of mistaken identities blows wide open.
