About a penny, it was very cheap back then. Shakespeare did not inherit an English Theatre tradition, essentially he was establishing it. He considered his performances to be rehearsals for when the King would ask to see his plays. So every time he put on a production that was not in front of the Royal family, it was called a rehearsal.

How would people watch the shakespeare play positions?
I am having trouble making sense of your question. "The Shakespeare Play Positions" sounds like a new play which is either very avante-garde or pornographic or both. Do you mean, "In what positions did people watch Shakespeare's plays?"? If so, the answer is standing up and sitting down.
