Yes, depending on what preconceptions you have about what it means to "create" a play. Shakespeare did indeed write at least part of all the plays attributed to him. Sometimes he wrote with another playwright as a team, so he did not write all of them alone. And he did not create the plots or stories of his plays. With two exceptions, he borrowed them from books or other plays. That was normal and completely accepted at the time for all playwrights. What mattered was Shakespeare's treatment of the story and the lines he wrote for the actors, not the creation of the story itself.
