About this quiz
Shakespeare reused names freely: an Antonio speaks in 4 of the plays held here. Every character named here speaks in exactly one of the plays in the bank, so three names always point to one play.
- Title characters are never among the three: no Hamlet, no Macbeth, no Juliet.
- A wrong pick shows the right play and the round moves on.
- The first round of the day is the same for everyone; the full run plays every play.
