SOUTH PORTLAND — Portland Players will present William Shakespeare’s beloved “Twelfth Night,” a comedy believed to have been written around 1601-1602.
A young woman washes up on the shores of Illyria having been separated from her fraternal twin during a violent shipwreck. To survive, the young woman disguises herself as a man to woo a countess on behalf of the Duke of Illyria with whom she herself secretly fallen in love.
Mistaken identities and comic misunderstandings abound when her lost brother appears and falls in love with the same countess.
