Twelfth Night background

Twelfth Night

A young woman dons a male disguise to be close to the count she secretly adores, but finds herself entangled in a complicated web of love and deception when the count's affections shift towards a woman.

In this Shakespearean comedy, a brother and sister, Viola and Sebastian, are stranded in a foreign country after a shipwreck. Viola, believing her brother dead, disguises herself as him and becomes a trusted friend to the Count Orsino, who is smitten with the lady Olivia. Olivia, still in mourning, is oblivious to Orsino's affections and falls in love with the disguised Viola, now named Cesario. Meanwhile, a series of misunderstandings and misadventures ensue, involving a bumbling nobleman, a self-important servant, and Olivia's uncle, who leads them to believe she loves them.
