Twelfth Night, also known as What You Will, is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare that follows the misadventures of Viola, who, after a shipwreck and believing her twin brother dead, disguises herself as a man and calls herself Cesario. In the service of Duke Orsino, she falls in love with him, while Countess Olivia falls in love with Cesario, creating a love triangle full of entanglements and confusions. The play explores themes such as love, identity, deception, and madness, with a touch of humor and melancholy.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
