Mostly through dialogue. The scenes change quickly and only such set pieces as were necessary for the action would be used: tables and chairs for the feast in Macbeth or the tavern in Henry IV Part I; a bed for the bedroom scene in Othello (probably concealed at the back of the stage); a throne for the throne rooms in Henry VI Part I or Henry V.

The thrust stage with its balcony and concealed space at the back was totally unsuited to any kind of backdrop, and there were no flies or wings to move scenery into. The audience had to use its imagination, with the encouragement of the script. "Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them printing their proud hooves in the receiving earth." (Henry V, Prologue)
