The playing companies performed both in private performances in people's homes, generally the nobility and royalty who could afford to pay for it, and also in public playhouses. In the public playhouses which could hold up to 3000 people anyone who could afford a ticket (and they were cheap) could get in. The whole spectrum of society therefore watched plays in this period.

That is to say, the King did not give them any money or any instruction on what plays they put on in the public theatres (apart from the usual censorship, of course, which applied to everyone).

∙ 11y agoNone. Actors were not employed by theatres. Sometimes they were employed by theatrical companies, and Shakespeare may have been early in his career, although we do not know which ones exactly. It is possible that he may have been a hired actor with Lord Strange's men. Shakespeare did not work for The Lord Chamberlain's Men, since he was one of the owners of that company.

∙ 10y agoBefore he became a partner in a group of actors himself in 1594, it is thought that he must have worked for other acting companies, possibly Lord Strange's Men, Suffolk's Men or Derby's Men. Actors who worked for a wage were called hired men.
Shakespeare stopped being a hired man in 1594 when he acquired a share in the newly formed Lord Chamberlain's Men. As a sharer as opposed to a hired man, he was no longer entitled to a wage, but instead to a share in the profits. Instead of working for a group of actors, he was one of the group of actors other actors worked for.
