Shakespeare's plays are traditionally organised into three groups: Tragedies, Comedies, and Histories.  The following list separates the plays according to their classification in the [[First Folio]], the first published edition of Shakespeare's plays. Today, some of the comedies are usually considered as a separate subgenre, the [[Shakespeare's late romances|'romances']] or tragicomedies; these plays are highlighted with an asterisk (*).
