'''Pericles, Prince of Tyre''' is a [[play]] by [[William Shakespeare]], written in 1607 and directed the following year at the [[Globe Theater]]. It is one of Shakespeare's [[Shakespearean comedy|comedies]]. There is, however, some question as to whether Shakespeare is the sole author of the play as many scholars have noticed the stylistic differences between the first nine scenes-possibly written by Shakespeare's contemporary, George Wilkins-and the latter thirteen.<ref>http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/pericles/context.html</ref>
