What time of day did all of William shakespeares plays take place?

Your teacher has misinformed you if you think that all of the performances of Shakespeare's plays during his lifetime took place at the same time. Performances at the open-air "wooden Os" like the Theatre, Curtain, Rose and Globe took place at 3:00 p.m. because they relied on the angle of the sun being right to illuminate the stage and not dazzle the eyes of the spectators. But many performances of the plays took place indoors in people's homes, halls and palaces even before the company acquired a permanent indoor theatre, the Blackfriars, in 1608. Performances indoors could take place any time and often were held in the evening.
