Isn't it accepted that The Two Noble Kinsmen was a collaboration?
EDIT:

Personally, I liked the (less faithful) 1948 film.
EDIT2:
I also found it amusing that the play he liked the best is the only Shakespeare play I've actually acted in (before his favorite adaptation came out).
- jfengel 3y agoSeveral are confirmed collaborations, including Pericles and Henry VIII (and 1 Henry VI is almost certainly). The exclusion of 2NK is a bit arbitrary but you draw the line somewhere. I also excluded it from my quest to do every play. In the end I did it as a Zoom production, which kinda half counts, as is appropriate. It was actually a good deal better than I expected. I found some very good writing, and the plot was easier to clean up than, say, Two Gents or All's Well.
