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.
