CONWAY — William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” famously opens with the line: “If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die.”
Spoken by the love sick Duke Orsino of Illyria (Andrew Brosnan), the line makes it seem that what is about to unfold is a melancholy love story, but that’s only part of it, as Shakespeare adds one of his favorite comedic devices: mistaken identity.
