Set in the fictional sea-side village of Illyria in the early 1950s, Twelfth Night weaves together the stories of a brother and sister lost at sea, a local count love-sick for a woman who has sworn off men, and group of buffoons out to exact revenge on a pompous, egomaniacal butler. Sprinkle in cross-dressing, sword-fights and mistaken identities, and you have the ingredients of one of the world’s greatest romantic comedies by the world greatest playwright.
