All we can say for sure is that whichever play was Shakespeare's first, it was performed before 1592. That is the date that Robert Greene makes sarcastic remarks about Shakespeare's plays and parodies a line from Henry VI Part III. Therefore we know that Part III was performed before 1592. But that doesn't tell us how much before 1592 it was performed or whether other plays were also put on before that date.
The customary way for someone to learn the playwriting trade was for that person to start by helping another playwright by writing a single scene or contributing some dialogue to the other playwright's play. Shakespeare's first dramatic writing may have been a scene in one of George Peele's plays. After that he would have been given more and more to write, so he would have been writing half of his or another writer's play before actually writing a whole play on his own. Some people think that some of his early plays have scenes contributed by other playwrights. For this reason, the idea that one of Shakespeare's plays was his first may be somewhat misleading.
