Synopsis: After losing her twin brother in a shipwreck, Viola washes onto the shores of Illyria: a idyllic dukedom full of revelry and music. Viola hatches a plan to survive on her own, disguising herself as a young gentleman in the court of Duke Orsino. Soon she is caught up in a storm of romance, antics, revenge, and mistaken identity. Shakespeare’s classic play, populated by a raucous band of Illyrians in a resort paradise, will make this a summer you’ll never forget.
