Best Answer

It isn't set in any particular year. Shakespeare and his audiences didn't care about that kind of thing.

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.
