Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare.

Lady Olivia is too busy mourning the demise of her brother to notice the young Duke Orsino, even his letters remain un-read.

Malvolio, the pompous head steward, is harbouring a bad case of sexual self denial and the maids are being pursued by the debauched uncle, Sir Toby Belch.

Into this step the twins, Viola and Sebastian, both capable of arousing infatuation whenever they appear. The trouble is, it's impossible to tell them apart.

Twelfth Night is a masterpiece of desire from the unforgettable opening line to the deliciously comic conclusion.
