About Twelfth Night

William Shakespeare’s classic The Twelfth Night originates from the twelfth night after Christmas. The play is a fast-paced romantic comedy that centres around many interlaced stories of romance, mistaken identity, and practical jokes. Separated from her twin brother Sebastian in a shipwreck, Viola is distraught, she distinguishes herself as a boy named Cesario. Cesario becomes servant to the Duke, Orsino. He sends ‘Cesario’ to charm the Countess, Olivia. Unbeknownst to Duke, the countess falls in love with Cesario.

In the meantime, Olivia’s Uncle Toby Belch gets merry with his friend Sir Andrew Aguecheek and plays a trick on Malvolio, Olivia’s steward. Unexpectedly, Viola’s brother Sebastian turns up. This causes a whirlwind of confusion, chaos, and comedy.
