Best Answer

Shakespeare, like most writers, did not make a big splash with his first effort, to the extent that we are not really sure what his first play was. If someone said after his first play premiered "This fellow Shakespeare will, mark my words, become the most famous writer of plays in the entire world", nobody bothered to take note, probably because anyone who said that would be considered to be crazy. Shakespeare's reputation improved as his life went on, but at no time during his life was he thought to be head and shoulders above all of his contemporaries.

The most important thing about Shakespeare's first play is that if he had never written his first play, he could not have written his second, or any of the others that followed. He had to start somewhere.
