It was hard work. The company put on a performance almost every day, and in their off hours (in the mornings particularly) they would rehearse new plays. They tried to bring in a new play every couple of weeks. Nor did they have runs of the same play--they kept a number of plays in repertory and played a different play every day.
They were able to take some time off in the winter, but during the winter was also when the court ordered performances indoors, so they didn't get much of a vacation. And when they could play in indoor theatres in the winter, that meant even less vacation time for the players.
You'd think that they would get a break when the theatres in London were closed down because of a plague outbreak, but then it got even worse. The acting companies would pack all their props and costumes in a cart and tour the country, taking the risk that the next town they came to might actually fill a theatre, might actually pay them, and wouldn't refuse to let them in the town limits, as sometimes happened.
