SummaryThe love-drunken Duke of Illyria sends his pages as messengers to the adored Countess Olivia, who has long since refused the Duke's advertising and now falls in love with his pages. But he's a girl: Viola, who stranded on Illyria's coast after a shipwreck and pretends to be her lost brother in men's clothes. She in turn is in love with her master, the Duke. A turbulent game of confusion begins, in the course of which Viola's brother reappears. In the end, both women get the man of their heart.
