Each play has its own requirements, and each production is different. Stage swords were frequently required, even in comedies. Rings figure prominently in a number of plays, such as Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice and The Comedy of Errors. A bottle could hold poison in Romeo and Juliet or medicine in All's Well that Ends Well. Other props are peculiar to certain plays: a skull is needed for Hamlet, a handkerchief embroidered with strawberries for Othello, a live dog in the Two Gentlemen of Verona.
However, compared to modern scripts, Shakespeare's scripts have very modest prop requirements. With some ingenuity, the prop requirements can be filled by a very small selection of items.
Shakespeare gives us some insight into the treatment of props in his time in Midsummer Night's Dream. Quince says, "In the meantime I will draw a bill of properties, such as our play wants."

Props in sixteenth-century productions were just like props of today. If they needed swords, they had swords. If they needed drinking glasses, they had drinking glasses. They had a skull for Hamlet, a handkerchief for Othello, and a ring for Viola. They did not go in for unnecessary props, props just to decorate the stage. Although Tree insisted on real rabbits to decorate the stage in Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare assuredly did not.
The person in charge of props for Universal Studios would typically be the Props Master or Prop Supervisor. This individual oversees the acquisition, creation, and management of all props used in productions. However, specific names or individuals in this role can vary over time and across different projects, so it's best to consult Universal Studios' official resources or production credits for the most current information.
In modern theatres, a wide variety of props are used to enhance storytelling and create immersive experiences. Common props include furniture like chairs and tables, hand-held items such as weapons or tools, and everyday objects like books or food. Additionally, specialized props may be crafted for specific productions, including period-specific items or unique symbolic objects that support the narrative. The use of technology has also introduced digital props, such as projections and interactive elements, further expanding the possibilities for theatrical storytelling.
