First published in 1602, 'Twelfth Night' is an amusingly comic tale of faulty identities by William Shakespeare, an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely considered the most splendid writer in the English language and the world's most remarkable dramatist.
It twists around the physical resemblance between Sebastian and his twin sister, Viola, each of whom, when separated after a shipwreck, believes the other to be dead. The dramatic fling begins when Viola assumes the identity of Cesario, a page in the household of the Duke of Orsino. The Duke is fascinated by Countess Olivia, who spurns him for the newly arrived young page. The subsequent confusion-all of which is pleasantly settled when Viola and Sebastian meet once again.
Sufficed with some of the most satisfactory comedic scenes in the English language, this delightful masterpiece remains one of Shakespeare's most popular and most performed comedies.
