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.
