New Addition:
Feste:  The most insightful character in the piece Feste still remains
playful and humble. He is treated like a fool, but is the only one who
sees and understands everything that it truly happening.  He doesn't try
to stop it though; he feels these events must happen in order for the
land of Illyria to be the Utopia it's striving to be. Feste spends his
time with Rasta's and people of honest living who don't put money first.
He's the premiere artist in Illyria and on the Duke's label.   Putting
himself in the position as the messenger of clarity his music and his
poetry are his avenues of communication with the masses.

Viola:
(20-30 female)
Viola paints us this picture of herself being innocent, but she is not
as naive as she first appears.   At times she shows us her true age when
in the presence of the Duke.  She's like a teenager of today, when in
the presence of any urban male icon she gets weak in the knees.

Olivia:
(30-35 female)
Olivia is a countess who is in mourning for her brother.  Olivia's
consumed by her mourning, and has lost touch with reality....refusing to
see anyone, however,   her mourning is quickly forgotten when she meets
Cesario (Viola).  From that moment on every move that she makes is made
with unconscious sensuality.
