Answer this question… With the applause of the audience
The Reduced Shakespeare Company. Their play is called The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)"
Actors created a connection with the audience in Shakespeare's day exactly as they do now. Actors respond to the reactions or lack of them which an audience gives. If the audience is with the actors, they will continue the rhythm and energy that established the relationship. If the audience is drifting away, the actors need to work harder to get the audience's attention and interest, by being louder, making larger gestures, adding humour and so on. This needs to be done at the beginning of a play, so Shakespeare often started his plays with something which would grab the audience's attention, like the appearance of a ghost.
