Join UM-Flint Theatre & Dance for the first mainstage production of the 25-26 season!After the twins Sebastian and Viola survive a shipwreck, neither knows that the other is alive. Viola goes into service with Duke Orsino of Illyria, disguised as a young man, “Cesario.” Orsino sends Cesario to woo the Countess Olivia on his behalf, but Olivia falls in love with Cesario. Viola, in the meantime, has fallen in love with Orsino.
In the meantime, twin Sebastian has been rescued by a sea captain, Antonio, [and disappears into Ilyria…]
At the estate of Countess Olivia, Lady Toby Belch, Olivia’s kinswoman, has brought in Sir Andrew Aguecheek to be Olivia's suitor. A confrontation between Malvolio, Olivia’s steward-estate manager, and the partying Lady Toby & Co. leads to a revenge plot against Malvolio, who is then tricked into making a fool of himself, and locked in a dungeon as a lunatic.
When Viola, as Cesario, is challenged to a duel, Antonio mistakes her for Sebastian, comes to her aid, and is arrested. Sebastian the twin is discovered…Olivia mistakes Sebastian for Cesario and declares her love [and Sebastian is immediately enchanted by Olivia but knows nothing of his twin Viola/Cesario]. When, finally, Sebastian and Viola appear together, the puzzles around the mistaken identities are solved: Cesario is revealed as Viola, Orsino asks for Viola’s hand, Sebastian will wed Olivia, and Viola will marry Duke Orsino. Malvolio, blaming Olivia and others for his humiliation, vows revenge.
