Printed in the First Folio in 1623, this is considered to be the last of Shakespeare's festive comedies. A tale of shipwreck and disguise, it explores questions of gender and identity that recur from Shakespeare's early comedies to his later romances. Identical twins Viola and Sebastian are shipwrecked near the foreign land of Illryia. Believing her brother drowned and desperate to survive, Viola decides to disguise herself as a boy, Cesario, and enters the service of Count Orsino. When ?Cesario? is sent to woo the Lady Olivia, humorous problems arise when Olivia falls for Cesario and Viola falls for Orsino. What follows is a merry-go-round of unrequited love, mistaken identities, high comedy, low tricks, and desperate passion.
