Plays in Shakespeare's day were often held at night. There was no electricity back then, so they could either use candlelight or sunlight to light the stage. If they wanted to use sunlight they had to act outdoors during the day. If they wanted to act at night or indoors (at court, a private residence, a hall or indoor theatre) they had to use candles. Candles were expensive so the ticket prices for indoor performances or night performances were higher.
