"Twelfth Night" Mix-Up -- Viola (Felicity Kendal, right) in her disguise as a male page, seems understandably surprised to learn that the Lady Olivia (Sinead Cusack), whom she has been sent to woo, has fallen in love with her rather than with her master, the Duke Orsino. It's all in the slightly inebriated spirit of William Shakespeare's great lyric comedy, Twelfth Night, which will air Wednesday, February 27, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (ET) on PBS as the premiere production in Season Two of The Shakespeare Plays. The series, which is presenting all 37 of Shakespeare's dramatic works over a six-year span, is made possible by grants from Exxon Corporation, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. It is a BBC-TV and Time-Life Television co-production, presented by WNET/Thirteen, New York.
