When watching a play in the 16th century people sat or stood (without a roof) depending on the seat they got. There wasn't much scenery in the play so the watchers of the play had to imagine the scenery themselves. They had hand props which they could carry on, like pikes, swords, cups, skulls, caskets and so on. If the audience did not like the play rotten fruits would be thrown at the actors. A book by Anthony Horowitz 'The Devil and his Boy' showed what it could be like watching a play and to be in a play.
A play in those days would have been the highlight of peoples' days, like the cinema is to us. To them it was like TV; they enjoyed it very much.
