Shakespeare's comedy of errors is adapted for the screen by Trevor Nunn and stars a host of famous British actors (including Ben Kingsley, Nigel Hawthorne and Mel Smith). Twins Viola and Sebastian are shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria and separated, each believing the other dead. Viola disguises herself as a man, and soon Sebastian is being mistaken for her and vice versa. Matters are complicated when the beautiful Olivia falls in love with Viola, whom she believes to be male.
