What You Will: A Queer-er Shakespeare

A storm at sea leaves twin hearts broken... and when the twins enter town, they leave broken hearts in their wake.

Trouble is brewing in Illyria. Steadfast and stubborn Duke Orsino won’t take no for an answer from Countess Olivia, yet Olivia’s proud heart beats only for Cesario. The catch? Cesario used to be known as Viola.

Viola lost her twin brother Sebastian at sea and entered Orsino’s household disguised as a man. Now, Cesario is falling for his master, the duke – while helping Orsino court Countess Olivia! Is it because Cesario used to be Viola that he is falling in love with a man? And if so, why does he vow that the dead will walk the earth before he answers to Viola?

Outside of town, a man who wears Cesario’s face is recovering from long illness, cared for by the darkly handsome sailor and war veteran Antonio. When this stranger, so recently recovered, decides to travel to Illyria, he walks into a love triangle he never could have imagined. And Antonio will take his life in his hands to follow the man he has come to love.

Will Illyria still be standing when the storm-lost twins are done with it?
