Final Jeopardy! category: SHAKESPEARE


Final Jeopardy! clue: After a royal passing in January 1820, this tragedy that had been little performed got 2 new London productions in April

What is King Lear?

Robin 3700 – 500 = 3200 (What is Henry VIII?) Ben 13600 + 9600 = 23200 Tim 22600 – 5000 = 17600 (What is MacBeth?)

During the madness in the later life of King George III, performing King Lear was a rather politically sensitive issue in England — for obvious reasons. This is a really good Final Jeopardy! clue, though!

And Tim goes home, but the way things are looking, I’d say he has a really good shot at the Tournament of Champions!
