From the Canon Shakespeare Company website:
“Who’s ready for a beach day?! When Viola is stranded in Illyria after a devastating shipwreck, she assumes a new identity and enters the service of Duke Orsino. Meanwhile, the Countess Olivia refuses to see any suitors while she mourns the death of her brother. When these two women meet for the first time, it sets off a ridiculous chain of events, including a love triangle, mistaken identities, a duel, a forged letter, and might even drive someone mad…Will love prevail in the end? Come experience one of history’s most beloved romantic comedies with The Canon Shakespeare Company!”
