This is the production by the fourteenth graduating class. Hoping to repeat the success of the previous year's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the team presents another comedy. Incorporating concepts from traditional Chinese theatre, the director adopts an impressionist scene design and live music, and arranges to have visible "stage hands," who are both actors and onlookers.

Abstract: Twelfth Night is a love story about twins and cross-dressing, a then-common theme written in a poetic and humorous tone. As an entertainment show for a religious holiday, the play was made to bring festivity rather than giving a profound depiction of humanity. The role of Viola is the focus of interest.
