ReviewsA deceptively thin Shakespeare quiz book, Bard Games is a toughie sure to level even the nerdiest of theatre geeks., If you think you know something about Shakespeare (as I used to), you're sure find this book challenging, perhaps frustrating, but in any case enormous fun.
SynopsisThe plays of Shakespeare are more than just a staple of the theater. From classrooms to quiz shows, they are an essential part of our culture, and Bard Games is an entertaining collection of brainteasers inspired by these timeless works. It calls for information about plots, characters, and lines, as well as productions, adaptations, and Shakespeare himself. The puzzles range from easy to demanding, and many allow readers to match questions with answers so that novices and experts alike will find suitable tests. Meanwhile all will enjoy the perceptive commentary that enhances the games., The works of Shakespeare remain a staple of the theatrical and academic worlds, yet even non-experts enjoy his works. On the television program "Jeopardy," for example, "Shakespeare" is a category at least once a week. Bard Games demands recognition of quotations, but always in the context of matching them with the speakers, so that less experienced readers have help, while the more ambitious can work independently. In addition, the quizzes are arranged roughly in order of difficulty, with the most challenging at the end of the book, while individual quizzes, too, move from easier questions to harder ones.
