The actors would fill a pigs bladder with blood and when the other actor stabbed them with a spear, the bladder would burst and the blood would soak their clothes and pour onto the floor, giving the effect that they were bleeding. +++ Elizabethan theatres were actually pretty good at special effects.

Men were the only actors. If the character was supposed to be a female, a young teenage boy would play the part.

they just stabbed them they did not act anything.
electricity And female actors to play female parts.

actors used bladders of pigs blood which they burst when they had been stabbed
In Elizabethan times, I believe all the parts were played by males.
Disgusting as it may seem, they used real blood in a bladder disguised under the costume. When the actor was stabbed, real blood poured out onto the stage. Since London was full of slaughterhouses ("shambles" was their word for them), these ingredients were easy to come by. The people responsible for cleaning the stage and costumes couldn't have been happy about it though.

Only in rare instances, Elizabethan actors may have worn make-up so that their facial expression could be visible to the audience. Commedia dell'arte actors wore masks as did the Greeks and Romans.

Since the only people who are "in" a play are the characters and the actors, and since the characters do totally different things depending on which character they are and what play it is, you must mean the actors. What do actors do in Elizabethan plays? They act, of course. Same as any other play.
