AT THE TOWNSEND HALL, SHEEP STREET, SHIPSTON-ON-STOUR
THE WELL LOVED SHAKESPEARE COMEDY ABOUT TWIN BOY AND GIRL, VIOLA AND SEBASTIAN, WHO ARE BOTH SHIPWRECKED IN ILLYRIA BUT NEITHER ARE AWARE THAT THE OTHER TWIN HAS SURVIVED. VIOLA DECIDES TO DRESS UP AS A MAN (CESARIO) TO SERVE DUKE ORSINO WITH WHOM SHE FALLS IN LOVE. ORSINO ASKS HER TO WOO OLIVIA FOR HIM BUT OLIVIA FALLS IN LOVE WITH VIOLA AS CESARIO. EVENTUALLY, SEBASTIAN TURNS UP AND THE TWINS ARE MISTAKEN FOR EACH OTHER IN HILARIOUS SCENES OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
THERE IS A SUB PLOT ABOUT OLIVIA`S POMPOUS SERVANT MALVOLIO WHO IS THEN "SET UP" BY OLIVIA`S UNCLE AND MAID SERVANT MARIA, BUT I EXPECT YOU ARE ALREADY CONFUSED! COME AND JOIN US FOR AN EVENING OF FUN AND SEE THE REST OF THE PLOTS UNFOLD.
