Additionally, please note that we have discontinued doing badges for logged-in users taking trivia quizzes but have not yet had the chance to update the text in our quizzes or quiz posts. We found that the negative sitewide effect of running quiz badges outweighed the few users who actually earned badges. I have enough virtual badges, anyway!

This Shakespeare trivia quiz also appears on our Shakespeare in the Park post…but as it’s a quiz, we’re also posting it in our trivia section.
