∙ 12y agoWhen plays were performed in the Globe, the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose, the Swan and the other great outdoor theatres, they were performed at about three o'clock in the afternoon, so the sunlight could illuminate the stage. However the plays were also performed indoors, particularly in winter. On indoor stages, private halls, and at court, they had artificial light and so could perform any time they wanted to, even at night.
