As far as we can tell, they were reasonably well-behaved because they liked the plays. However, Elizabethan and Jacobean audiences could get very rowdy. There are a number of recorded incidents of fistfights and riots taking place among patrons of the Fortune Theatre, home of the Admiral's Men. There are also records of audiences throwing food at the actors if they didn't like the play; this is not known to have happened at the performance of a Shakespeare play, all of which were extremely popular.
