No. That is not to say it's impossible, but Shakespeare at that stage of his life had no access to theatrical people or to any publishers. It's highly unlikely that Shakespeare would have attempted to write a play, and even more unlikely that he would have had it published. Plays were only published after long and successful theatre runs, which no such juvenile effort would have had. There is not one scintilla of evidence which would suggest otherwise.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, 28 plays and two long poems (maybe 3, if you count the Turtle and the Phoenix)
Henry Condell was one of the actors in The King's Men, one of Shakespeare's closest friends and one of the two men who determined to publish all of Shakespeare's plays in one volume after he died.
Yes, they did.
The two Henry IV plays and Henry V were written in Shakespeare's early middle period, between 1596 and 1599.
His Henry VI plays were early successes, as was Titus Andronicus.
He didn't. Shakespeare never wrote a novel in his life. I'm serious. He wrote plays and poetry, and didn't even publish the plays himself.
Shakespeare was known during his lifetime for his plays. That is why unauthorized versions of them (with his name on them) were published as early as the early 1590's

Because Shakespeare never published his own work when he was alive. So when he died two of his theatre friends finally decided to publish them. These first published plays are found in whats called the First Folio.
All of them. That's why they were able to put out a collected plays volume called the First Folio seven years after Shakespeare died. The King's Men owned the scripts and the right to publish them; Shakespeare did not.
Nobody. And here is why: Shakespeare did not publish his plays. About half of them were published after his death. Those ones which were printed during his lifetime were published by publishers without any consultation from Shakespeare. In some cases, it is thought, people wrote down the plays from memory and sold them to the publishers, in others, various playing companies, but especially the Lord Chamberlain's Men, sold old scripts that were hanging around the playhouse.
Nobody knows for sure which of Shakespeare's early plays was the first, nevermind when it was first performed.
Henry Condell was one of the actors in The King's Men, one of Shakespeare's closest friends and one of the two men who determined to publish all of Shakespeare's plays in one volume after he died.
No copyright law. In such a situation, you publish a play, any fool can perform it. You only publish when there's more money to be made from publication than performance.
Yes, they did.
In the late 1500s and early 1600s when Shakespeare was alive there were no films. Shakespeare wrote and acted in plays which were performed in theatres such as the Globe and the Swan.
Two styles of early American plays were romantic and vernacular. Shakespeare wrote some of the earliest known plays among colonist around 1750.
