PM) Twelfth Night is a Shakespeare play, in which women dress as
men and men just get confused. Here's a brief run down.|
Sebastian and Viola are stranded. They get seperated, and
neither knows the other one is alive. Viola dresses as a man,
Cesario, in order to get a job from the count Orsino. Orsino
begins to fall in love with Viola/Cesario, and wonders about his
sexuality. Viola runs errands for Orsino to the countess Olivia.
Orsino loves Olivia, but Olivia begins to fall in love with
Viola as Cesario. Orsino now loves Viola as Cesario, as does
Olivia. In the end, after an amusing plot involving Malvolio,
Olivia's servant who had a crush on her, Sebastian, Viola's twin
brother, appears on the scene. Viola reveals herself as a woman,
Orsino falls in love with Viola, and Olivia falls in love with
Sebastian thinking that he is Cesario/Viola. What you will.
Having performed this play, I know that Twelfth Night has
something to do with Christmas an
