A classic confusion, a mistaken identity (two twins, a boy and a girl, who look almost identical, especially after the girl is forced by circumstances to dress as a boy) + a not so credible lovestory + a hilarious sub-plot (giving us the most famous characters of the play, such as Malvolio or the Fool).

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.
