Nine women take every role in Shakespeare's comedy about desire and gender. Who do we fall for, and why? Can we resist our desires? Can we truly hide them?

We open in Illyria: a sad, divided kingdom on the Mediterranean coast. Olivia, mourning for her father and brother; Orsino, head-over-heels in love with Olivia, who constantly rejects his advances. Life is at an impasse -- until Viola washes up on its shores. Shipwrecked on the Illyrian coast, she believes her twin brother died at sea. She dresses as a man and assumes the name Cesario to get into the court of Orsino, with whom she falls in love. Orsino orders her to court Olivia in his place. And so it is Olivia’s turn to fall in love with Cesario-Viola, an androgynous being who fascinates everybody. The perfect love triangle.

Another story is playing out at the same time. Malvolio, Olivia’s devoted servant, hides from the world his profound desire to marry his mistress and reach high office from the world. Seeing that, Toby, Andrew, Feste and Maria seek to drive Malvolio mad, organizing a trap in which Malvolio is humiliated like never before when his desires are laid bare.

"Methinks I feel this youth's perfections

With an invisible and subtle stealth

To creep in at mine eyes. Well, let it be."
