No. Lots of people wrote plays before Shakespeare. The ancient Greeks were writing plays 2300 years ago. The Romans were writing them 2000 years ago. English playwriting developed from indigenous traditions of Miracle and Morality plays, influenced by the Roman plays of Seneca and Terence. The earliest Tudor plays (Ralph Roister Doister, Gammer Gurton's Needle, Gorboduc) were written when Shakespeare was a child. The most popular Tudor Play, Thomas Kyd's Spanish Tragedy, was written before Shakespeare had even started writing and continued to be popular for decades thereafter.
