What makes you say that? Never read it, gimme the quick and dirty. Would it mesh well with their characters/situation or something?

Have you seen the (awesome) Amanda Byne's movie She's the Man?

I've seen She's The Man, how does that relate to Skins? (I'm probably being real dim here, I don't have the brain power to think it through right now.)

I havn't read Twelfth Night either.

I haven't read Twelfth Night but She's the Man is about a young girl who disguises herself as a man to get into a boarding school. She ends up falling love with another boy there (who thinks she's a boy)... So, I'm guessing if it is 12th Night, Franky is disguising herself as a boy and Matty will play the love interest.

Like many of Shakespeare's comedies, this one centres on mistaken identity. The leading character, Viola (Franky), is shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria during the opening scenes. She loses contact with her twin brother, Sebastian, whom she believes is dead. Masquerading as a young page under the name Cesario, she enters the service of Duke Orsino (Matty) through the help of the sea captain who rescues her. Orsino has convinced himself that he is in love with the bereaved Lady Olivia, whose father and brother have recently died, and who will have nothing to do with any suitors, the Duke included. Orsino decides to use "Cesario" as an intermediary to tell Olivia about his love for her. Olivia (Liv), believing Viola to be a man, falls in love with this handsome and eloquent messenger. Viola, in turn, has fallen in love with the Duke, who also believes Viola is a man, and who regards her as his confidant.

There, that's better! lol

Yeah, She's the Man is based on the play, so I figured if you'd seen that, then you'd know the jist, since the plot is kind of complicated. Sorry, bb, I thought I had put that at the end of the comment, my bad.

It's been a while but Franky's story with androgyny and fitting in are huge parallels.
