The seven ages of man is not a poem. It's a speech given by the character Jaques in Act 2 the play As You Like It. The Duke has just pointed out that "This wide and universal theatre presents more woeful pageants than the scene wherein we play in." or in other words, there are people worse off than we are. Jaques fastens on the "wide and universal theatre" image and says that everyone is playing a part, and the parts are pretty much the same for everyone and lead toward a sad end. In the process he uses a lot of similes and some metaphors. "Fair round belly with good capon lined" is a metaphor--you don't actually line the inside of your belly like you would a coat, but you do fill the inside with food, like capons (castrated roosters).

Main features of performances in Shakespeare theatre?
Thrust stage. The audience almost surrounded the players. No amplification and poor acoustics, as well as an unruly audience. Actors in Shakespeare`s plays needed good projection. Natural light. Very simple staging. Since there were frequent scene changes and no wings, elaborate sets were not possible. Some set pieces could be revealed from behind a curtain at the back of the stage. Some special effects were possible with the heavy canopy over the stage, as in the entrance of Jupiter in Cymbeline, or with a trap door in the stage, as for example in the grave in Hamlet

Who said this all the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players?
This is quoted from Shakespeare's "As You Like It" by Jacques. He was the male satirical figure. He compares the world to a stage, obviously, and states that mankind goes through seven stages, playing any parts. These parts begin with an infant and end with a childlike oblivion because as in birth they are left without teeth, without good eyes and without the sense of taste.

What were some of the shakespearian actors called?
Your question is vague. Do you mean by "shakespearian actors" actors who have acted on stage in Shakespeare's plays, or do you mean actors who acted on the same stage as William Shakespeare, or do you mean actors who were alive when Shakespeare was? And are you asking for their names (Richard Burbage, David Garrick, Edmund Kean, Sir Henry Irving, Kenneth Branagh are actors who played Shakespeare; Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, Augustine Phillips and Nathan Field were actors who acted with Shakespeare; Richard Burbage, Edward Alleyn and Richard Tarleton were actors when Shakespeare was alive)? Or perhaps you want to know what people called them ("no-good lazy bums" no doubt).
What is a good example of a thinking question?
"to be or not to be" Shakespeare . Is this a question? Why Shakespeare mentioned 'to be or not to be' should be a good thinking question! Do you agree? Why?
