Open air public theatres existed in Shakespeares day. They were built of wood, and were circular in shape. They had about three tiers of covered seating, and an open yard in the middle for the 'lower class' to stand and watch the play. They were called groundlings because they stood on the ground, and were only charged a penny to do so. The stage protruded from one side of the circle and into the yard. 'Upper class' theatre visitors could even pay to sit at the side stage to watch the play. There were two main theatres in London during Shakespeare's time, called The Rose and The Globe. Shakespeare predominantly played in The Globe. For more information, I would search 'Shakespeare's Globe'. A reproduction has been built in London which is meant to be based on the designs for the original Globe Theatre. The original burnt down in the Great fire of London in 1666.

All sorts of monarchs went to see shakespeares plays including Elizabeth the first and king Edward the firstMostly men and nobles. Quick fun fact: Men were only allowed to be in Shakespeare's plays back in his day.
He or she is more lovely and more temperate, nor will his or her eternal summer fade or lose possession of the beauty he or she owns.
Shakespeare's plays have regularly been played in London from about 1590 to the present day, with the exception of the years 1642 to 1660.
In Shakespeare's day, the actors performed a comical dance and song called a jig which might include comic monologues or dialogues. It was kind of like a music hall comedy turn--a little song and a few jokes. These were performed even after the most serious of plays.
