It's all very well saying he wrote 37 plays, but he didn't! He probably "Wrote" 50 or more! The rest, are lost, as is Cardenio, and Love's Labour's Won. Some, are possibly alternate titles, (Henry V111, or, All Is True) whatever, I believe, from his prodigious output, that Shakespeare wrote MORE than 37 plays!

I'm positive he wrote 37 plays

ps. Listen to "let the drummer kick"

People are not sure but we believe that he wrote more than 30 play.

37 Plays And 154 Sonnets
 

William shakespeare wrote 648 plays 209 com-ady and 307 tragics and one romance

8====> that a willie and he wrote 37 plays

A contempory of his, John Haywood, is accredited with having written 200 plays, this is the number I would associate with Shakespeare.

    In the first place, a contemporary of his, (John Haywood), wrote some 200 plays, therefore, it is entirely possible, that Shakespeare wrote just as many!

  And why not?!  Some of his works have alternative titles, two of his plays are supposed lost, the turnover of work meant that the theatres offered a different play every day, therefore, there was no gathering up of play scripts, they were left to themselves while the company got on with the next one!
  He was supposed to have started off as an actor, but reverted to playwrighting, because he was so lousy at it!

  A little suggestion here, a small addition there, to plays then being written, led him into developing his writing skills until he felt able to offer his own work to the company for public appraisal.

  Therefore, I believe Shakespeare to have written far more than the 37 plays attributed to him, more like 180+!
