This engaging Shakespearean comedy follows the adventures of Viola and Sebastian, twins separated in a shipwreck and washed up on the shores of a foreign land. The siblings are caught up in a series of romantic misadventures involving unrequited love, deception, cross-dressing, mistaken identity, drunken revelries, and comedic vengeance, while the perceptive fool's bittersweet songs remind us of "the fragility and vulnerability of . . . happiness" (Peter Holland). Imogene Stubbs, Helena Bonham Carter, Nigel Hawthorn, Ben Kingsley.
