SYNOPSIS
Viola, a young woman, is separated from her twin Sebastian in a shipwreck, and dresses like a boy to serve Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, with whom she falls in love.
Orsino is in love with Countess Olivia, however, and sends Viola (now called Cesario) to woo Olivia for him, but Olivia falls in love with Cesario instead. Sebastian then arrives in Illyria, meets Olivia who thinks he is Cesario, and marries him immediately! Mistaken identities ensue, love prevails, and endings are happy for all. Or are they?
