Two to three hours after they started. Shakespeare's plays take about three hours to perform as a rule if the entire script in the Folio version or some Quartos is followed. On the other hand, the Prologue in Romeo and Juliet talks about the "two hours' traffic of our stage" which means that performances were about that long. And if the so-called "bad quartos" of Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet are in fact reflections of the way the plays were actually performed, then two hours is more likely, since that is how long those versions of the plays take to perform. At what time did they start? Well, that depended on what theatre they were in. At the Globe, Curtain or Rose, they started plays at about 3 p.m., finishing at 5:00 or 6:00, but they also performed at the indoor theatre the Blackfriars as well as at court, in people's homes, and other indoor spaces. These performances could and did start at any time. The Blackfriars performances were in the evening.
