What time of day did Shakespeare's plays Start And Why?
What your teacher is getting at is that Shakespeare's plays were sometimes (but not always!) performed in outdoor theatres where the stage was lit with natural sunlight. In such cases, they performed in the afternoon. But actually they were quite frequently performed indoors and in such cases they used candles and could perform any time the audience wanted them to.
