Viola, in search of her brother disguises herself as the boy Cesario and enters the service of amorous Duke Orsino. On his behalf she woos the mourning Countess Olivia. The mission fails as Olivia proclaims her love, not for the Duke, but for his page. Meanwhile, Olivia’s egocentric steward Malvolio alienates her mischievous maid, her drunken uncle, and a cowardly knight by cutting short their noisy party. Their wild revenge in the form of a forged love letter, succeeds hilariously. Don’t miss this popular Shakespearean favorite full of mistaken identities, misdirected passions, high comedy, and devilishly low tricks. J.B.

J.B. is the modern counterpart of the biblical Job. When he is reunited with his wife, two humbled but valiant people accept the universe and agree to begin life all over again.
