William Shakespeare's, Twelfth Night, adapted by Vanessa Morosco, follows the Messaline twins Viola and Sebastian who are shipwrecked on the island of Illyria, ruled by the noble duke Orsino, and the fair countess Olivia. The twins, being separated by the shipwreck fend for themselves on this island. Viola, forced to put on a male outward appearance, wins over Orsino and works under his rule. While Sebastian finds comfort with a pirate named Antonia, and makes her way to seek shelter with the countess Olivia. Confusion arises when the twins paths cross, making for a hilarious and touching reunion.
