In most of the original Elizabethan productions of Shakespeare's plays, there was very minimal scenery. Aspects such as time and location were largely supplied by the actors' dialogue (i.e., "This castle hath a pleasant seat"; "Methinks something's rotten in the state of Denmark!"). The appearances of the surroundings of the characters were largely left to the audience's imagination. Stages such as that at the Globe Theatre did, however, have a trapdoor, and also a cannon placed above the stage that could be fired for theatrical effect.
