My kingdom for a horse...

I got this Shakespeare test from 17catherines, who commented in passing that she has read almost all of her "Complete Works of Shakespeare", which is more than I have done - I tend to focus on favourite bits (mostly the ones with sexy heroes: Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, Henry IV, part 1, Much Ado About Nothing, for example) and there are some plays I hardly know at all. But I think I've either read or seen most of them at one time or another. What am I missing? Henry VIII. King John. Others...? I'm always a little fuzzy in memory about All's Well That Ends Well, but not because I haven't read it.

I'm sort of a hopeless Shakespeare fangirl, really.

So the only question I have left is: what question did I get wrong on the quiz?

Eeeh - I got 80%, I'm absolutely HUMILIATED. I'm going back to bed to hide my shame under the pillows.

Aww. You don't need to do that. Just listen to David Tennant or Sam West or one of those great voices doing the Shakespeare readings. That'll put a thrill up your spine!

Oh dear you so have a point... DT as Benedick in Much Ado about Nothing...

But then again, DT seems to be brilliant in whatever I've seen him :) *thumbs up*

He's talented, that's for sure. And Benedick is one of my favourite Shakespeare characters - how could I fail to love his version?
