 * __Summary of the play__**

The play Twelfth Night is written by William Shakespeare and retold by Andrew Mathews. The play is about a girl called Viola; she is shipwrecked and does not get to meet her twin brother, Sebastian and believes that he is dead. The initial incident in the play was when Viola dresses herself into a man and secretly falls in love with the Duke. The rising action of Twelfth Night is when Olivia falls in love with Cesario (Viola) thinking she is man. The climax of the play is when Sir Tobly Belch and Sir Andrew write a letter to Malvolio in Olivia’s handwriting that said she loves him (Malvolio), therefore to prove his love towards her he had to wear yellow stockings as a sign of love. The falling action of the play is when Olivia sees Malvolio wearing yellow stockings and thinks he is insane, and locks him up in a dark room.
