How many plays did shakespeare write?

The general consensus is that Shakespeare wrote thirty-seven plays (see list below). However, no one can know for certain because of the inexact documentation at the time the plays were first being organized and published. If we include "The Two Noble Kinsmen" and two lost plays attributed to Shakespeare, "Cardenio" and "Love's Labour's Won", then we could say he wrote, either alone or in collaboration, forty plays. Moreover, in the last few years many critics have begun to reassess a play called "Edward III", currently grouped with a collection of eleven other plays known as the Shakespeare Apocrypha. "Edward III" bears striking similarities to Shakespeare’s early histories. Another play, "Sir Thomas More" has also been under debate. Handwriting analysis has led scholars to believe that Shakespeare revised parts of "Sir Thomas More", but, like "Edward III", it is not part of the standard collection of Shakespeare's plays. For more information on "Edward III" or the Shakespeare Apocrypha, please see the links to the right.

Why didn't William Shakespeare ever write a play about the Spanish Armada?

A playwright could get in a world of trouble for writing a play that direct;y dramatized current political events. A playwright could indirectly reference current events, but he would have to be subtle about it, unless the event was completely uncontroversial (and complementary to those in power). The only direct and clear reference to a current political event I can think of in Shakespeare is the reference to the Earl of Essex leading the attack on Ireland, which reference occurs in “Henry V.”
