A good mix of plays--in terms of chronology, genre, and general popularity. Maybe cut down the time a bit? It might put some fun pressure on the quiz takers!

"The _____?" "______ for _____?" Talk about vague clues.

Though if you knew Shakespeare, MovieDynamic, there could only be one right answer.

It was pretty simple. I was kind of hoping it would be quotes with one word missing.

Shoot, I tried to put "Kingsmen" for "Kinsmen". If not for missing that one, I would have gotten 100%.

A bit easy for Sporcle I reckon. There's another naming all the plays - now that's a challenge...

I know! I was attempting to go for a bit of humour. I thought they might even be there as bonus answers. Looks like people are very serious today. :(

You should accept 'won' as either an alternate for "Love's Labour's ____" or put as a bonus. Probably the latter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love's_Labour's_Won

This seem uncharacteristically easy for a Shakespeare quiz. I agree with black_licorice, 2 minutes seems too long for this.

I think it would have been fun if it was fill in the blanks to classic Shakespeare quotes instead of plays. Other wis I like it.

I got 21, missing the most obscure. I am surprised that anyone missed Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar.
