I am having trouble making sense of your question. "The Shakespeare Play Positions" sounds like a new play which is either very avante-garde or pornographic or both. Do you mean, "In what positions did people watch Shakespeare's plays?"? If so, the answer is standing up and sitting down.
People watching Shakespeare's plays would either be sitting or standing. If the people had extra money they could pay for the privilege of sitting during the play. The poorer people would have to stand in the theater pit to watch the play but there tickets were much cheaper.
Your question is unclear. If you mean "What class of people would watch Shakespeare's plays at court?" the answer is the upper class--royalty, nobility, and their servants. If you mean "What class of people are portrayed as being at court in Shakespeare's plays" the answer is the same. Indeed you could have asked, "What class of people are at court?"
The Globe theatre was the theatre that Shakespeare's plays were mostly performed in. It can seat up to 1500 people and up to 3000 if people stand outside. Shakespeare's plays were usually packed so therefore around 1500 or more people watched Shakespeare's plays!!!
People that would mainly go to see Shakespearean plays are typically interested in Shakespeare's works, and theatre in general. However, this includes a broad segment of the population who enjoy being entertained. To suggest that people who want to major in theater, want to become an expert on Shakespeare, etc. should see these plays suggests that it is a painful experience to watch a Shakespeare play. In fact, the reverse is usually the case--most Shakespeare productions are fun, entertaining and enjoyable for everyone, as they were always intended to be.
Almost everyone in Shakespeare's day who lived in or around London watched his plays. The only exceptions were those people who were so poor that they could not afford the one penny admission, and those people who thought that God hated people enjoying themselves (the Puritans).
I bet you've seen Shakespeare in Love and you think, "Aha! It's Queen Elizabeth I." But she didn't "come to watch" Shakespeare's plays. She told the Lord Chamberlain's Men to come to her. The same goes for James I and members of his family and all of the richest and most powerful people at the time. None of these people would ever go to a playhouse. Of course there are probably many famous people who watched Shakespeare's plays at the theatre during his lifetime: writers, playwrights, poets, musicians, and anyone else who wasn't of the upper crust. And after the Restoration, everyone went to the theatres and just about anyone who was famous for anything had at one time or another seen a Shakespeare play.

Anne Hathaway was pregnant when Shakespeare married her. Some people would consider that to be scandalous.
We don't know. Shakespeare left no diaries, blogs or other outpourings of his personal views on any subject. We have no idea what he "thought about" any of the characters in his plays, or about any of his plays.It doesn't matter. Even if we knew what Shakespeare thought of the characters in the story it would not help us understand the story in the least. Nor would it be of any help to know which of his plays Shakespeare thought was the best. If he said his favourite play was Troilus and Cressida do you think people would stop wanting to watch, talk about and quote from Romeo and Juliet? Of course not.
yes but why would you
The vernacular. Rabelais wrote in French, Shakespeare in English. In Shakespeare's case, writing in Latin would have been professional suicide, seeing as most of the people who paid to see his plays did not know Latin.
