Another great quiz. I scored 5, and was amazed I remembered so much of the plot.

It was the first Shakespeare I saw performed, and it made an impression on me, particularly the 'desire/performance' piece, which was illustrated with the use of a sword smiley - smiley


Thank you!

That scene...it's a plum part.

I knew this lady of mature years who was a stalwart in amateur dramatics. She was really talented and could do just about anything.

Now, as it happened, she was tapped to play the Porter in the Scottish Play. She was a terrific Porter, vivid.

The problem was, her daughter, who lived in another city, picked that week to show up with her fiance, who had never met his future mother-in-law...and they said, 'Let's go to the theatre and surprise her!'...

It was a memorable night for all concerned....
