"If music be the food of love, play on;

Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die."

Viola and Sebastion are identical twins, separated by a shipwreck. Landing in Illyria, Viola disguises herself as her brother and goes into the service of the Duke Orsino. When the Duke sends her to help him woo the Lady Olivia, the obstacles of unrequited love, self-deceit and mistaken identify soon lead an assortment of lovers on a merry dance.

Perhaps the most popular of Shakespeare's comedies, "Twelfth Night" considers the nature of love: true love, self-love and friendship. This star filled production won great acclaim for its energy and for its inclusion of the play's often overlooked darker elements. (Verlagstext)
