Dear Readers,

“If music be the food of love, play on”, sighs Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, consumed by unrequited love in the opening act of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. He means, he wants to be sickened so much by an overdose of a good thing, so he can naturally escape his affliction. And then Twelfth Night delves into all kinds of complications that love brings and its many shades, so much so that Orsino’s love interest Olivia falls in love with Viola, a woman disguised as a young boy, wooing Olivia on Orsino’s behalf.
