“This audiobook celebrates Shakespeare’s bright turns of phrase, playful puns, and penchant for a little cross-dressing…in this straightforward musical presentation of one of the Bard’s most popular comedies. Shakespeare’s emphasis on wordplay and language always sounds good on audio…The shipwrecked Viola (a spritely sounding Sarah Drew) disguises herself as a young man to serve Duke Orsino (Chris Butler), who is in love with Lady Olivia (Tara Lynn Barr). The Duke sends the boy to woo the Lady. Issues of same-sex attraction, mistaken identity, and status abound. Not bad for a 500-year-old play.”

Shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, Viola assumes the role of a male page to Duke Orsino. The Duke sends Viola, now disguised as ‘Cesario’ to press his suit with the beautiful Olivia – who promptly falls in love with Cesario.
