What is the title of Shakespeare's first play?

  1. Love's Labour's Lost

  2. A Midsummer Night's Dream

  3. Othello

  4. Romeo and Juliet

The correct answer is: Love's Labour's Lost

Shakespeare's first play was titled "Love's Labour's Lost", making option A the correct answer. Option B, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was written later in Shakespeare's career and is therefore not his first play. Similarly, option C, "Othello" and option D, "Romeo and Juliet" were both written later and cannot be considered his first play.
