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.
