Things are heating up in Illyria: Orsino loves Olivia, but she loves Cesario, who in turn has his eye on Orsino. That alone would be complicated enough, but Cesario is not Cesario at all, but Viola in disguise. And so the great mix-up begins. As in Taylor Swift's songs, they live in a world between illusion and reality. But perhaps music will help them find their true feelings?

We live in a time where romantic love as a universal longing may still fill the cinemas but is often met with cynicism in real life. So what is it about Shakespeare’s most famous lovers that continues to enthral us? In all their radical self-abandonment, are Romeo and Juliet a progressive alternative concept for today?
