Yes they did. They used a range of props from big props (ie. beds and cannons which were left on the stage) to smaller props (like daggers and swords).

What are props and how does a man use them with a woman?

The word "props" is short for "properties" and is a theatrical word meaning "objects which you can carry onstage which the actors interact with". Obviously in the theatre both men and women use props all the time, but perhaps your question is directed towards a more private act between a man and a woman. If people are using props in their sex life, they are probably acting out some fantasy.


Did they use props and costumes at Shakespeare's theatre?

Yes. The Peacham drawing, a drawing of a contemporary production of Titus Andronicus, shows the actors in costume and using pikes as props. (see related link) One of the most valuable possessions of a theatre company was (and is) its stock of costumes. Props like weapons, cups, money, a skull for Hamlet, bottles for poisons, and sundry flowers are essential for the plays to proceed. These are hand props--stage props like thrones, tables, a bed for Othello wer also needed.

How did shakespeare make up for lack of scenery?

He invited his audience to use their imaginations. Which they did and are still capable of doing. Many modern productions, both of Shakespeare's plays and more modern ones, use minimal props and scenery and get their point across by good acting.

how many props did shakespeare use in his plays?

Well, I'm sure you can think of some of them, like swords and daggers and drinking glasses and bottles of poison and crowns. There are also a number of notes and letters. Occasionally there are interesting props required like a couple of human skulls, or a donkey's head, or a whetstone, or an overdone roast beef. The props are often implied by the stage directions or even the dialogue. Shakespeare did not compile a proplist for the plays; he expected the director to do that. So it is difficult to be precise about how many of them may be needed.
