12th Night (Airmont Shakespeare Classics Series)

Twelfth Night (sometimes published as 12th Night in editions like the Airmont Shakespeare Classics) is one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, written around 1601–1602. The play follows Viola, who is separated from her twin brother Sebastian after a shipwreck and disguises herself as a young man named Cesario to serve Duke Orsino, only to become entangled in a merry web of love, mistaken identities, and comic mischief as both the Duke and Countess Olivia fall under unexpected romantic spells. Featuring witty banter, memorable characters, and themes of identity, love, and revelry, it remains a classic of English Renaissance theatre.
