No, but there are a fair number which do. There are also plays in which there is an opportunity for a swordfight, but it is not required. In Midsummer Night's Dream, for example, Demetrius and Lysander wish to fight each other, and it is up to the director to decide how far they actually go. Swordfights are less common in the comedies, although there is a fight in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and also in The Two Noble Kinsmen. Pericles has a jousting match. Troilus and Cressida has plenty of fighting. Twelfth Night has a hilarious non-fight between a coward and a girl which becomes something more serious. Battle scenes are common in the history plays, particularly King John, Henry IV Part 1, Henry V, all three parts of Henry VI and Richard III. They also show up in Julius Caesar, Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. They are significant in a number of the tragedies, especially Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. There is some fighting in Othello but it is not central, and there is none at all in Timon or Titus.
