In how many acts of shakespeares plays written?

Shakespeare's plays are generally written in five acts. This structure was common in Elizabethan drama and has been followed by many playwrights since.

However, it's important to note that:

* Some plays deviate: Shakespeare experimented with different structures, with some plays having four acts (like *The Tempest*) or even one act (like *The Comedy of Errors*).

* Modern productions: Many modern productions may condense or rearrange the five acts into fewer acts or even one continuous performance.

So, while five acts is the standard, there's some variation in Shakespeare's own work and modern interpretations.
