	D'oh! Kept trying to come up with the correct spelling of Troilus for the lesser known Shakespeare play Cressida and Troilus, when all the time Troilus and Cressida was down there in my T's.

	If you know the great Cole Porter song "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" from Kiss Me Kate, it's a big help with this! "If she says your behavior is heinous, Kick her right in the "Coriolanus."

	@DashDixon; Pericles, although not in the First Folio, is included in modern collections of Shakespeare's work. It is also featured in the Sporcle quiz, which was my source.

	@DashDixon; There is a note in the instructions: Plays not in the First Folio are included.

	While Shakespeare was British, but the -our ending wasn't in use when he wrote "Love's Labor's Lost" (the Wikipedia article has a picture of the 1598 quarto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love's_Labour's_Lost). Could you save us Americans some trouble by accepting the original (and now American) spelling?

	Shakespeare walks into a pub, and the barman says "Get out, you're Bard"

	@wiggytitch: I totally missed that. My mistake.

	Sigh. Henry VII never gets any love.

	Sigh. I only missed L, and I kept trying to type it in, but I didn't realize that there was an apostrophe in both the first and second word. Perhaps you could be a bit lenient and have an answer without apostrophes be acceptable? A lot of sporcle quizzes make apostrophes optional.

	Funny how Pericles and Prince of Tyre look like they're two separate P plays. @Gneiss: Sporcle automatically makes apostrophes optional. If your answer didn't take it's probably because you omitted the s, or else spelled "labours" without the u.

	sporcle means never having to worry about apostrophes; like capitals and spaces they're not needed to make an answer work.

	Moviegoer74, There is no Henry VII play. The historical person, however, does appear in The Third Part of Henry VI and Richard III as the Earl of Richmond.

	Hamlet:	May 11th, 2012 at 15:57 GMT		1 point
	Most scholars now agree that "Edward III" was partly written by Shakespeare. As well, there are his three pages of the manuscript of "Sir Thomas More" and his collaboration, now lost, with Fletcher, "Cardenio."
