Twelfth Night

About this book

William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a dazzling comedy set in the sun-drenched world of Illyria, where a shipwrecked stranger adopts a disguise that ignites a merry tangle of mistaken identities and unrequited pursuits. Overflowing with lyrical language, quicksilver wit, and unforgettable characters — from the mischievous fool to an infatuated duke and a pompous steward — the play balances slapstick and sentiment while staging sharp observations about love, ambition, and the masks we wear. Fresh, music-filled, and surprisingly modern in its questions about identity and performance, Twelfth Night enchants with laughter, mischief, and moments of genuine tenderness.
