Which of William Shakespeare's play has been said to refer to the Gunpowder Plot?

Some people have tried to link the play Macbeth to the Gunpowder Plot. It is true that the reference to an "equivocator" in the Porter's speech is almost certainly a reference to Henry Garnet, a Jesuit priest who was executed as part of the Gunpowder Plot, and who wrote a famous treatise on "equivocation", saying that it was ok to say something which was literally true but implied something false. This would have been a hot topical item at the time the play was written, after 1605.
