In Shakespeare's day, performances of plays could be either indoor or outdoor. If they were performed indoors, the stage was lit by candles, and so the performance could take place any time. This was preferred in the winter when the sun set very early. Performances outdoors relied on natural light to light the stage. Performances took place when the sun was in an ideal position, generally about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Usually when you ask when a play takes place you are asking for the time setting of the play, but these varied from play to play and were usually not particularly clear.

Your teacher has misinformed you if you think that all of the performances of Shakespeare's plays during his lifetime took place at the same time. Performances at the open-air "wooden Os" like the Theatre, Curtain, Rose and Globe took place at 3:00 p.m. because they relied on the angle of the sun being right to illuminate the stage and not dazzle the eyes of the spectators. But many performances of the plays took place indoors in people's homes, halls and palaces even before the company acquired a permanent indoor theatre, the Blackfriars, in 1608. Performances indoors could take place any time and often were held in the evening.
