It is hard to know in what order Shakespeare's plays were written, or whether he had coined some words in conversation before using them in a play. This question, like just about any question about Shakespeare starting with the words "What was the first . . ." cannot really be answered.
Here are some early Shakespearean coinages. "Gossip" used as a verb rather than a noun (Comedy of Errors), the adjective "jaded" (Henry VI Part II), the adjective "bloodstained" (Titus Andronicus of course), the verb "metamorphose" (Two Gentlemen of Verona), and the verb "torture" (Henry VI Part II).

When was william shakespeare's first play acted?
There are two problems with this question: 1. We don't know which was Shakespeare's first play. There are about five contenders. 2. We do not know when any of Shakespeare's plays were first acted. They didn't keep track of premieres as we do now. I can tell you that Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, which some people think might have been his first play was acted on film with Anthony Hopkins in the title role in 1999, if that helps
