Twelfth Night- Overview

Twelfth Night is a fun story about a girl named Viola. After a shipwreck, she thinks her brother is lost, so she dresses up as a boy named Cesario to work for Duke Orsino. Orsino asks Cesario (really Viola in disguise) to help him tell Olivia, a rich lady, that he loves her. But things get messy—Olivia falls in love with Cesario, not knowing it’s Viola, and Viola secretly loves Orsino!

In the end, Viola’s secret is revealed, and everything gets sorted out. The play teaches us about being honest, being ourselves, and the power of love, friendship, and family. It’s a story that reminds us to stay strong and be true to who we are!
