What types of plays did William Shakespeare write? |
[Edit] 
In the first officially published versions of Shakespeare's plays, known as The First Folio, the plays were categorised as Histories, Comedies and Tragedies.
Later critics have called some of the plays "Tragicomedies", "Romances" or "Problem Plays" because they do not readily fit into the original three categories.
In this context "Romance" is not the same as "Love Story."
