There were four places on the Globe stage where an actor could appear to be hiding from the others. First, the roof over the stage was supported by two large wooden pillars, which an actor could hide behind. These were probably the "trees" in As You Like It and the place where Troilus and Thersites hide in Troilus and Cressida. Then there is the "concealment space", a small room in the back wall with a curtain in front of it, used to hide Ferdinand and Miranda in The Tempest. Finally, there is the balcony above the stage. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo (behind a pillar) is spying on Juliet (on the balcony), but the person on the balcony could just as easily be spying on the stage.
