Lady Viola is washed ashore after a shipwreck, but her twin brother Sebastian is lost. Determined to survive alone, she steps into a new land and a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love.
Dionysus Theatre reimagined Shakespeare’s comedy as a turn of the twentieth century romance inspired by the 1915 sinking of RMS Lusitania.
