Question: How Many Shakespeare Plays Are There?
Answer:
In total, William Shakespeare wrote 38 plays, now categorised into tragedies, comedies and histories.
However, a new play was attributed to Shakespeare in 2010 when Arden Shakespeare published Double Falsehood under the name of William Shakespeare after many years of research. Therefore, many critics have revised the figure and now claim that the Bard wrote 39 plays.
