Synopsis

Twelfth Night tells the story of brother and sister Viola and Sebastian, who are not only very close but look a great deal alike. They are in a shipwreck, and both think the other dead.

When Viola lands in a foreign country, she dresses as her brother and adopts the name Cesario. She becomes a trusted friend and confidante to the Count Orsino, who is madly in love with the lady Olivia.

Olivia is in mourning due to her brother's recent death, which she uses as an excuse to avoid seeing the count, whom she does not love. Orsino sends Cesario to do his wooing, and Olivia falls in love with the disguised maiden.

Things get more complicated in this bittersweet Shakespeare comedy when a moronic nobleman, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and a self-important servant, Malvolio, get caught up in the schemes of Olivia's uncle, the obese, alcoholic Sir Toby.

Sir Toby leads each to believe Olivia loves him. As well, Sebastian surfaces in the area, and of course there is Feste, the wise fool, around to keep everything in perspective and to marvel, like we the audience, at the amazing things happening all around.

One major issue I had with the soundtrack of Twelfth Night or What You Will was the lack of emotional depth in the music. The score failed to capture the complex range of emotions that the characters experience throughout the story, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the narrative.

Another aspect that disappointed me about the soundtrack was the repetitive use of generic musical motifs. The compositions felt uninspired and didn't add much to the overall atmosphere of the play. It would have been more engaging if the music had been more varied and innovative, enhancing the storytelling rather than becoming background noise.
