‘How now? Even so quickly may one catch the plague?’
Olivia, Act 1, Scene 5
In the household of the Countess Olivia, two campaigns are being quietly waged - one by the lovesick Duke Orsino against the heart of the indifferent Olivia; the other by an alliance of servants and hangers-on against the high-handedness of her steward, the pompous Malvolio. When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet chain of events follows.
Filled with a cast of unforgettable characters, Twelfth Night combines cruelty with high comedy and the pangs of unrequited love with some of the subtlest poetry and most exquisite songs Shakespeare ever wrote.
The running time is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes with one interval. The show will be performed in English.

「什麼？ 這麼快便染上那種病了？ 」
奧利維亞，第1幕第5場
在伯爵小姐奧利維亞（Countess Olivia）的家中，有兩件事正在同時進行 ： 一是單戀著奧利維亞的奧西諾公爵（Duke Orsino）正向前者苦苦追求；二是一群僕人和奉承者正密謀要惡整心高氣傲丶自視過高丶伯爵小姐的男管家馬伏里奧（Malvolio）。當奧克西諾公爵要女扮男装的薇奧拉（Viola）替他表達對伯爵小姐的愛慕時，引發出一連串點錯鴛鴦的奇遇與愛戀。
《第十二夜》充滿了一系列令人難忘的角色，其苦樂參半丶迂迴曲折的劇情結集了苦戀的殘酷，以及精彩的喜劇元素，再加上美麗的對白和歌詞，被譽為莎士比亞眾劇裡最經典的作品之一。
劇目演出時間均為大約2小時15分鐘，包括一次中場休息。演出將以英文進行。
