[Edit] |
[Edit] 
A Shakespearean comedy was one with mythical overtones and exagerated plots rather than being funny. This is to distinguish them from Tragedies (Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth etc) and Histories (Richard III, Henry V etc)
Comedies include:
A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Tempest
The Taming of the Shrew
Loves Labors Lost
The Winters Tale
and also
Comedy of errors
as you Like it
Measure For Measure
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
