Your question is a bit vague, but I am going to answer it as if you had asked "What kind of scenes were performed in the alcove at the back of the stage in theatres like the Globe Theatre?" The answer to that is twofold: they used the alcove, called a "concealment space", when they wanted to reveal or hide something which is still part of the action, and when they needed a particularly clunky stage prop. An example of the latter is the murder scene in Othello, where Desdemona is sleeping in her bed. Keeping that bed in the concealment space meant that it didn't get in the way during the rest of the play. Remember that in thrust stage theatres like those of the Elizabethans there were no wings to hide scenery or stage props in. An example of using the concealment space for a reveal is in The Tempest where Ferdinand and Miranda are suddenly revealed playing Chess. This was accomplished by having them in the alcove. The reverse happens on two occasions in Hamlet, where spies are hiding "behind the arras". The King and Polonius merely have to step behind the curtain of the concealment space. They are not offstage; the audience knows they are there, but they are hidden.
