During Shakespearean times, various refreshments were sold at plays, including ale, wine, and mead for the adults. For the children, there were sweet treats like nuts, fruits, and pastries. These refreshments were typically sold by vendors walking through the crowds or at stalls set up around the theater. The sale of food and drink helped generate additional revenue for the theater companies.

Who helped shakespeare to publish his plays?

Nobody. And here is why: Shakespeare did not publish his plays. About half of them were published after his death. Those ones which were printed during his lifetime were published by publishers without any consultation from Shakespeare. In some cases, it is thought, people wrote down the plays from memory and sold them to the publishers, in others, various playing companies, but especially the Lord Chamberlain's Men, sold old scripts that were hanging around the playhouse.
