Shakespeare's plays have been staged almost continuously since they were written. The design for the props always changes a little bit from production to production, but set design changes a lot because of the different designs of the theatres at different times. In Shakespeare's day, on a thrust stage with only a back wall, scenery was negligible; furniture and other set props could be brought on stage to create throne rooms, taverns, bedrooms and so on. In the Victorian era, they had huge proscenium stages with incredibly large and complex sets and meticulously painted backdrops. Since the end of the 19th century abstract and minimal sets have been the fashion.

Was there a lot of scenery in Shakespeare's plays?
It depends on what time period you are talking about. When Shakespeare was acting, they had no scenery to speak of--only some large stage props like beds and thrones. Large set pieces would not have worked with the stages they had. In the Victorian era, the sets were huge and elaborate, and audiences expected to have to wait a long time while the stagehands changed them. In this period, the set designer got better billing than the actors.

What is the scenery?
For theatre, types of scenery could include anything from flats (theatre style, or TV style), platforms, stairs, ramps (or rakes), curtains (or a cyclorama, or a scrim), automation, scenic painting, back drops, furniture, doors, windows, and the flies. Depending on who you talk to, joinery and hardware might be included.For film or television, it could include all of the above, a box set (flats connected and painted to look like a room) or a location, large stationary props, or anything that could contribute to the illusion of reality.Be careful, though. There is a thin line between props and set. Anything that the actors will pick up and/or handle would be a prop, not a scenic element.Eg:Scene: a family eating at a dinner table.Set: the room, rugs, furniture, door/arch wayProp: plates, silverware, food, lamps/candles, coat tree, table cloth
