Why were theatres built outside the city walls?
In Elizabethan times there were actually city ordinances prohibiting the building of theatres within the city (there were no city walls around sixteenth-century London). Think of it as a zoning ordinance. The city fathers thought that theatres created traffic problems and contributed to the spread of crime and disease (although they did not worry about churches, strangely enough). Therefore the theatres were built in the suburbs.
Who performed plays in England before theatres were built?
In 1567 the first purpose-built theatre in England was built. Before that time, acting companies had to go on tour and play on such makeshift stages as might be available, in rich people's houses, town halls and innyards. Innyard theatres, which continued in operation well into the 1600s, were the model for the early playhouses. Most acting companies continued to play in such makeshift spaces even after the purpose-built theatres were built because there were many more companies than theatres. Even nowadays, acting companies on tour will play anywhere they can set up. That tradition is far from dead.
