The plays at the public playhouses started around 2:00 P.M. so that the play could take advantage of the sunlight. Most stages faced south or southwest. The plays lasted from two to three hours. Public playhouses were usually open from April to October. Companies moved into their private winter playhouses at that time. Plays did not start being performed at night, in public playhouses, until the Restoration Period.

What was the name of the theater where most of Shakespeare's plays were made famous?
The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."

Plays were generally performed at the Globe in the late afternoon.The Blackfriars, the other theatre which Shakespeare owned shares of, was an indoor theatre and was lit with candles. Plays could be, and were, performed in the evening.

What is the name of the theater where all William Shakespeares plays were perforned?
There is probably no one theatre where all of Shakespeare's plays were performed. You may be thinking of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 and probably saw all of the plays Shakespeare wrote after that date. But Shakespeare had already been a playwright for seven or eight years before the Globe was built. If any of his plays written before 1599 were played at the Globe they would have to have been revivals. Some of his old plays may have been revived, but all of them? Unlikely.
