The author or authors of the world's first play have been lost in history. Plays have been performed for thousands of years, if not tens of thousands of years. Some notable great theatres include the theatres of Ancient Greece, constructed between 550 and 200 BC.

People who had the talent. They were originally usually travelling bards who went from city to city composing and singing their works, and varying them to avoid repetition.

As these efforts developed with the invention of cursive writing into set pieces, specialist writers emerged. These were usually citizens in various cities, who added this activity to their other callings, and produced plays for the various religious festivals where they were performed for the honour of the gods (and entertainment of the male populace). Successful plays spread throughout the Greek world.

There were a great many successful writers who won prizes for the best plays at the festivals each year. Only a few plays out of thousands have survived down to today.
