Illyria is depicted as the setting for this play due to its beauty and romance. Previously located on the Adriatic Sea, Illyria has been hinted to be influenced by piracy. Viola is washed up in a ship wreck on the shores of Illyria. It is important when designing the set for this show to keep the beaches assimilated into the set, as well as represent romance through the use of color and shape.
Because the plot of this show does not jump dramatically to distant locations, a base stage can be set to represent Illyria. Again, it could be a design choice to set this show in numerous locations. Below is a picture of a set used for this show. The columns give a sense of the elegance of the Duke's home, while the levels give the actors the ability to distinguish class.
