Hilarious and heartbreaking, “Twelfth Night” is a tale of unrequited love. Twins are separated in a shipwreck and forced to fend for themselves in a strange land. The first twin, Viola, falls in love with Orsino, who dotes on Olivia, who falls for Viola but is idolized by Malvolio. Enter Sebastian, who is the spitting image of his twin sister…
“This is Shakespeare’s comic masterpiece,” Gleadow said. “Shakespeare himself acknowledges as much, as after this play he wrote no more pure comedies. He had mastered the form and takes it to its logical conclusion: a type of chaos which reflects the human condition as faithfully as any tragedy.”
