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 Shakespeare play is set on January 5?
Twelfth Night is January 5. However it is not clear whether the play is called that because it was set on Twelfth Night or because it was first performed on that date. There is nothing in the text suggesting that the play takes place in winter. And there is a subtitle "What You Will" which also happens to be the title of another play around at the same time. A plausible explanation is that Shakespeare had written his play What You Will and then someone else put on theirs. Not wanting there to be confusion, Shakespeare (or the members of his company) quickly gave it a name based on when it was to be performed, which is the name that stuck.
