Shakespeare Quotes

This round features 15 quotes from plays by William Shakespeare. The names of the plays are given in a mixed up list and the aim for teams in your quiz is to match these all up correctly. For example, the play "Julius Caesar" should be matched to the quote "Beware the ides of March".

As in the example above, a few quotes are very well known and teams should be able to identify which plays they come from without too much trouble. However, there are also quotes that are well known, but where it is not so easy to identify which play they are taken from, and there are also a few less well known quotes included, so some guesswork may be needed if teams are to complete the round.

It is recommended that this round is used in a pub quiz as a handout round. For more information on handout rounds and our recommended use for them in quizzes click here
