When plays were performed in the large open-air public theatres like the Rose, Swan, Curtain or Globe, they were performed during the day so that the daylight could light up the stage. But when they were performed in indoor theatres like the Blackfriars, the stage was lit by candlelight, so they could perform at night.

∙ 14y agoI am not sure, but here is the reason i think his plays were during the day. They had no electricity in his time, so couldn't light up the stage at night. They performed during the day, so people could see them with the sunlight.

∙ 11y agoShakespeare and his fellow-actors performed plays in the afternoon in the big public theatres like the Globe or the Fortune, because the stage was lit with natural sunlight, something which is in short supply at night. However, they also performed in indoor theatres (like the Blackfriars) and in private houses or halls, and when they did this the stage was lit with candles. So, obviously, when they were playing indoors, they could and did perform at night. A lot of the indoor performances took place in the winter when it was too cold and dark to use the outdoor theatres.
