Description

In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the character Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario in order to be able to serve Duke Orsino, who she secretly loves. This plot point creates a number of dramatic possibilities, including the potential for mistaken identity and gender confusion. The playwright cleverly uses this disguise to explore themes of love, lust, and betrayal.

Author

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) remains the centre of English-language drama: poet, player, and shareholder of the Globe. Tragedy, comedy, and history still turn on his lines. Interactive Media publishes the plays as reading and listening editions for a worldwide audience.
