Here is a preview of the production offered by Hingham High School:

The leading lady, Viola (Noelle Micarelli) is shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria and becomes separated from her twin brother, Sebastian (Brian Perrault). Fearing the worst,  Viola dresses as a page boy to gain employment with the Duke Orsino (Dan Rider) so that she can find her brother. Viola fall in love with the Duke, and the fun begins.  Orsino is already in love with Olivia (Meghan Cashel) who shows no romantic interest at all in the Duke.  The Duke uses Viola, remember she is impersonating a man, to communicate his love for Olivia, but Olivia falls for Viola, who in turn has fallen for the Duke. Viola can’t proclaim her love for the Duke as the Duke thinks she is a man! Olivia is pretty busy with problems of her own: her drunken uncle, Toby (Chip Miller), and his useless friend (Doug Osborne), domestic help problems (involving Sawyer Paine as Malvolio and Emma Givney as Maria), and dealing with a fool (Kathryn McCawley) just for good measure.
