season.
Twelfth Night
A comedy of misrule and a trenchant attack on puritanism as disguise and deceit
leads to misadventure, madness and mistaken love in one of Shakespeare's
happiest plays. Orsino loves Olivia but she loves Cesario who really does love
Orsino for Cesario is actually Viola. But Malvolio believes his mistress Olivia
loves him as he is a victim of a trick played on him by those who would make
him mad. Shakespeare unravels a comic knot and fashions a masterpiece.
