1. "If this were played upon a stage now / I could condemn it as an ________ fiction." ~Twelfth Night.

Answer: improbable

III.iv.(142) - as spoken by Fabian to Sir Toby Belch. "Twelfth Night" is the last of Shakespeare's romantic comedies (written c. 1601)and is often regarded as the most perfect.

I.11.(288). Bernard Shaw regarded Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" as 'the most splendidly written political melodrama we possess'.

3. "Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun of ______ " ~Richard III

Answer: York

I.i.1. Deformed with a withered arm, a murderous nature and no hint of humanity, Shakespeare's conception of Richard III is a magnificently entertaining villain - brimming over with satanic, sardonic humour. A delicious character!

4. "Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul / But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, / _______ is come again." ~Othello.

Answer: Chaos

III.iii.(90). A huge powerhouse of a play, "Othello" is driven by a basic universal emotion - jealousy.

III.iii.(40). The best known quote from "As You Like It" must surely be 'All the world's a stage / And all the men and women merely players . . .' - but I like the slut quote!

Answer: button
