I am thinking for a little "trivia" and fun in this section of the forum we have a Shakespeare Trivia. It can be a question, quote, or whatever about the bard, his life, and/or his works. Anybody up for it?
If so, Question 1:
How many of his sonnetts did SHAKESPEARE publish?
none ;)
Indeedle!!!
Your question.
Was Shakespeare ever convicted of a crime?
Was there not something seedy regarding his marriage?
Wow...you guys are tough...
I probably got that one wrong.
Which of Shakespeare's plays can only be found in the first folio(no foul copies,etc. have been found)?
No, I think it was poaching.
I thought he spent time in prison, anyway. Maybe someone else could answer.

I am.
T&C was almost omitted from the Folio, but appears, due to the oddly numbered pages, to have been a last minute inclusion. TNK was never printed in the Folio.
Just waiting on the formal announcement.

[Edit]: Actually, after having reread the question I believe I was also wrong. Although it is true that T&C was almost certainly a later addition to the Folio, it was printed in Quarto form before the Folio as were half of the 36 Plays in that collection. The plays which appear in the Folio for the first time are;
The Comedy of Errors
The Taming of the Shrew
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
As You Like It
Twelfth Night
All's Well That Ends Well
Measure for Measure
Henry VI Part 1*
King John
Henry VIII
Julius Caesar
Macbeth
Antony and Cleopatra
Coriolanus
Timon of Athens
Cymbeline
The Winter's Tale
The Tempest
* The second and third part of Henry VI were technically printed under earlier versions by the same author, but with the different titles, The First Part of the Contention Betwixt the Two Famous Houses of York and Lancaster, and The True Tragedy of Richard Duke of York.
Now I'm right.
haha. Okay. Well somewhere I got that TNK was in the first folio...hmmm....my misread.
Anyways you can throwout a new question.
