Funny, for Shakespeare. One of his comedy plays about a woman who is shipwrecked in a foreign country and decides that she would be better off impersonating a man. She falls into a scheme to help a wealthy count hook up with a rich woman, but doesn't count on the woman falling for HER. Oh, and she has a twin brother, and there are some really genuinely funny episodes wherein another man is trying to score the same aforementioned woman. It's Chick-Lit, brought to you by Shakespeare.

This is the classic Shakespearean comedy of mistaken identity, mayhem and the triumph of true love. Twins are separated during a shipwreck and each is certain the other has died. Viola pretends to be her brother for safety reasons and becomes caught up in a romantic triangle. Alls well that ends well.
