A Midsummer Night's Dream is set in Athens. Pericles is also set in various Greek cities, as is The Comedy of Errors. The Comedy of Errors is a play based on the style of Latin authors like Terence or Plautus, who borrowed their style from Greek playwrights. However, none of Shakespeare's plays contain anyone who speaks a word of Greek onstage--they only speak English and occasionally French and Latin.
