a play of Shakespeare('s)

[joham]

That's a play of Shakespeare.
That's a play of Shakespeare's.

Does each sentence work as well as the other and have the same meaning?

Thank you in advance.

The first doesn't work particularly well for me- I would use by.

The second doesn't work particularly well for me - I would use "That's one of Shakespeare's plays."

I would use "That's one of Shakespeare's plays."

Agreed - or 'That's a Shakespeare play'.
