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.

The plays contain songs as well as stage directions for trumpet or oboe flourishes and the like. Although Shakespeare wrote song lyrics, he did not set them to music. He was not a musician.
