Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare is a delightful mix of romance, mistaken identities, and witty pranks, set in the whimsical kingdom of Illyria. The story kicks off when Viola, shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother Sebastian, disguises herself as a man named Cesario. She becomes entangled in the love life of the Duke Orsino, who sends "Cesario" to woo the beautiful Countess Olivia on his behalf—only for Olivia to fall for Viola (in disguise)! Meanwhile, Viola has secretly fallen for Orsino, and her brother Sebastian, who everyone believes is dead, turns up to add even more confusion. Throw in a group of mischievous servants, an unforgettable prank on the pompous Malvolio, and you've got a comedy full of love, laughter, and a few happy surprises. It's a joyful celebration of love, identity, and the chaos of life itself.
