Lady Olivia

22

*The fair Olivia, struck with grief, after the death of her brother, all kin known deceased, she wallows in misery, others around her not envious of her state. Only trusting to those she knows, such as her drunk uncle Sir Toby Belch, and her Gentlewoman, Maria, she sees no one outside of her estate. A duke, Orsino, is madly in love with her, his desires clutching and tearing at his heart until he is in despair at not having her, sends his trusted man, Cesario, a woman named Viola disguising herself after her ship wrecked, where she lost her twin brother, Sebastian, to woo his love. Welcome to Illyria. Continue the play as Shakespeare intended, or what you will. (Had to include that pun, and any of you that get it... you are cultured.)
