IoS theatre review: Twelfth Night, Apollo Shaftesbury, London The Magistrate, NT Olivier, London The Promise, Trafalgar Studios, London
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is awash with romantic confusions caused by cross-dressing. Shipwrecked on a foreign shore and believing that her twin, Sebastian, has drowned, Viola disguises herself as a boy. Swiftly employed as a page, s/he is dispatched to woo Lady Olivia on Count Orsino's behalf, only for the former to fall for the go-between.
