Usually no.

A narrative story requires a narrator: somebody who tells you what is going on in the story. Plays (drama) usually don't have this - 'what's going on' in a play is usually depicted by what the actors say and do. There are exceptions however such as Romeo and Juliette where there is a narrator at the beginning and the end that 1) tells the audience what is going to happen and 2) what happened.

How many plots do Shakespeare plays usually have?

The tragedies generally have one main plot, although there are diversions from it. Some of the comedies have two plots such as Much Ado About Nothing (the Beatrice/Benedick plot and the Claudio/Hero plot) and Merchant of Venice (the Bassanio/Portia plot and the Shylock/Antonio plot). A Midsummer Night's Dream has three plots. The plot structure of some of the history plays, particularly the Henry VI trilogy, is diffuse and difficult to unravel. The more popular history plays Richard III and Henry V have a more definable main plot. The plot of Pericles is rambling and episodic, but does not have strong subplots. On the other hand, the late play Cymbeline contains Shakespeare's most complex and tightly-written plot.
