How old was William Shakespeare when he wrote his first play?
Answer

Nobody knows for certain.

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564, and there are official records of his baptism, marriage and the baptisms of his Children - the last of these were his twins born in January or February 1585 in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Between that date, and 1592, there is no record of what he did or where he lived.

In 1592. there is a record of a London critic writing an unfavourable review of one of his plays, and this is the first mention of him as a dramatist in the historical record.

His first play was, therefore, written in or before 1592, when he was 28 years old, but exactly when is not known.
