The most famous was Shakespeare, but there were others I'm not to sure about, cos I'm not really into plays and drama! :S
Comedy and tragedy masks. Their origin is in the Greek drama, and they are used with respect to drama of all kinds, not particularly Shakespeare.
George Bernard Shaw is considered to be England's most famous playwright, second only to William Shakespeare. This is because Willliam Shakespeare's creations were more poetry than drama and because William Shakespeare's works all can be perfectly sung which qualifies them to be considered as Poetry. It may also be noted here that Shakespeare also loathed the tedious labour of staging a drama and always wished to be considered as a poet. Thus, to do this great literary figure justice, William Shakespeare goes to the Hall of Fame of Poets and George Bernard Shaw stands as the most famous Playwright England produced.
If you mean "Did Shakespeare invent the concept of plays?" the answer is no, he sure did not. People were writing plays in Greece 1800 years and more before Shakespeare was born. They had plays in Rome too, but the Romans weren't very good at drama, and ultimately plays had to be reinvented. However, English drama was certainly reinvented by the time Shakespeare was born, although it was improving all the time. If you mean "Did Shakespeare write plays?" the answer is of course yes. If he hadn't written plays you would never have heard of him.
