Very nice — proud to say I didn’t look at the list of Shakespeare works either :) Though, from memory, it took awhile to get #5!
1. The Taming of the Shrew
2. The Merchant of Venice
3. A Midsummer Night’s Dream
4. The Two Gentlemen of Verona
5. Much Ado About Nothing
Good game!

Got it…..although the last two were pretty tough going from memory, so that is what the internet is for.

I resisted the temptation to grab my book of his complete works – and went by memory – focusing on all the “long titled” plays.
For some reason #3 took the longest for me – you’d think that would be one of the first to come to mind.

I live about 25 miles outside of Stratford, and if anyone else is even remotely in the area and under 30, check out Stratford’s PlayOn program, whereby tickets to certain shows can be had for $20 or $30. Thoroughly worth the trip.

I would SO get front row tickets to a play called The Twelve-Gnome Afternoon!
