Viola, who washes up on the shore after a shipwreck, is a stranger and unaware of the ground she has set foot on. Anything seems possible in this place. There is wild desire and seduction, a frenzy of love and intoxicating activity. In the end, no one gets the one they wanted at the beginning, but there is still a big party. William Shakespeare calls this land, the setting of his dark comedy, Illyria. It is no coincidence that the original title is Twelfth Night; or What You Will. For in the twelve dark nights between Christmas and Epiphany, people celebrated extravagant feasts against the horrors and fears of the winter darkness.
