Never. Shakespeare only wrote in three literary forms: the play, the Sonnet and the narrative poem. He never wrote novels, or stories, or any other kind of narrative prose.

"But wait!" I hear you say. "Didn't he write the stories behind his famous plays like Hamlet, King Lear or Romeo and Juliet?" No, he did not. He got the story for Hamlet and King Lear from other plays he had seen, and Romeo and Juliet from a poem he read. There are only two of his plays which have an original plot. If he had been trying to write nowadays he might have had a hard time because of modern copyright laws, which shows that copyright laws inhibit creativity and do not encourage it.
