Our January "Classics" Book Selection is Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
The play's plot centers on two twins -- Viola and Sebastian -- who find themselves separated after a shipwreck. Fearing her brother lost and for her own safety, Viola disguises herself as a young man and joins the service of the Duke Orsino, with whom she falls in love. Yet, Viola in her guise as a young man, attracts the romantic attentions of the Countess Oliva -- with whom, Duke Orsino, in turn is in love, setting up one of the most hilarious love triangles in English literature.
