Twelfth Night starts with Orsino's famous line, "If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die." The image is of a kind of monster that has to be fed with music, but which Orsino hopes will be overfed. However this doesn't happen--he gets tired of the music but he still loves. He is tortured and victimized by his love, hence his image later in the scene: "I was turned into a hart (deer) and my desires like fell and cruel hounds e'er since pursue me."

What is the Shakespeare play that takes place between dusk on January 5 and dawn on January 6?
The question is actually faulty; there is no Shakespeare play that takes place between dusk on Jan 5 and dawn on Jan 6. The question comes from an episode of The Weakest Link, but they flat out made a mistake. The answer is supposed to be Twelfth Night, because the real life Twelfth Night (i.e. the twelfth day of Christmas, and the day which marks the start of Epiphany) is indeed dawn on Jan 5 to dusk on Jan 6. However, the play is not set on Twelfth Night at all (nowhere in the play does it say what time of year it is, and the play takes place over the course of three months), the only reason it's called that is because it was originally written to be performed at a Twelfth Night celebration. Whoever came up with that question obviously just assumed that a play called Twelfth Night must be set on Twelfth Night, but didn't know anything about the play and didn't bother to check.
What was the title of shakespearse first play?
Richard the second (II) was Shakespeare's 11th play according to the Signet Classic series and Riverside Shakespeare lists. But hold on! According to Riverside Shakespeare may have written as many as 12 or as few as nine plays before Richard II (so it could have been 10th, 11th, 12th, or 13th). According to the Signet Classic Series, it could have been 10th, 11th or 12th. Guessing the date when any of Shakespeare's plays was written is a chancy thing. We only really know when they were published, entered into the Stationer's register, and in some cases, performed. Francis Meres made a list of Shakespeare's plays in 1598 which helps to know which plays had been performed before then.
Why is Twelfth Night called a comedy?
Twelfth Night is one of only two Shakespearean plays which has an alternate title, which is "What You Will". (The other play, incidentally, is Henry VIII, also known as "All is True") However, there was another play written at about the same time called What You Will. Some people have speculated that Shakespeare's play was originally only called What You Will and was given the second title to avoid confusion. Some authors have tried to connect the events of the play with the "Lord of Misrule" celebrations of Twelfth Night, but Shakespeare's Illyria is a stable and stratified society, and the subplot vilifies and punishes someone (Malvolio) who tries to act above his station, the exact opposite of what happened during the rule of the Lord of Misrule. There is no mention in the text of the play of Twelfth Night celebrations. It is also possible that the play was first performed on January 6, as the court regularly commissioned actors to perform over the Christmas season. The first known performance of the play was February 2, 1602, but it might well have been performed earlier. All in all, the title is a bit of a mystery.
