Young boys and men played the women Plays were only performed in the daytime, since there was no electricity
James Burbage was an Englishman alive during the 16th century. He was an actor and he had the vision of building the first theater in London (called, The Theatre). He was a contemporary to Shakespeare.
Commedia dell'arte is a type of theater performance from 16th century Italy. Actors wore masks, and plays featured stock characters.
I do not know about the first part of the 16th century, but Shakespeare wrote plays at the end of this century and his plays are still performed so the theater has not changed all that much. There were more soliloquys and asides then than there are today. Lighting is better and women appear on the stage nowadays. Of course, there was no TV and no movies and acting in movies or TV is quite different that the stage, but that is not what you asked about.
they sucked. :)
