Description

Step into a Victorian‑era parlour game that invites you to capture a portrait of the mind using the words of the Bard. The book presents ten carefully crafted questions—ranging from “What are you?” to “What do you most wish for?”—each paired with twenty possible responses drawn directly from Shakespeare’s plays. As you pose the questions in order, the person answering picks any answer that feels right, turning familiar lines into a playful self‑portrait.

Designed for gatherings of friends or quiet evenings alone, the format encourages imagination, conversation, and a touch of theatrical flair. Whether you’re a seasoned Shakespeare enthusiast or simply enjoy witty wordplay, the game offers a charming way to explore personalities, values, and aspirations through the timeless language of the stage. It’s a delightful blend of literature and social interaction that makes each round feel like a living tableau of human character.
