A lighthearted romantic comedy, Twelfth Night was originally written in 1601–2. Separated in a shipwreck, the twins Viola and Sebastian are rescued individually, till they find themselves hilariously entangled in a series of events involving unusual disguises, newfound loves, and mistaken identities. Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare’s most well-loved plays and has been adapted extensively by the theatre, cinema, television and radio.
