Twelfth Night on Theatre Row in November
Viola, a young woman shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria, and believing her twin brother drowned, disguises herself as a man and enters the service of Duke Orsino, who has her play cupid for him and the object of his affections, Lady Olivia. The first of many complications arise when Viola falls for Orsino and Olivia falls for Viola's male alter-ego.
