Best Answer

The sonnets cannot really be performed. The plays, on the other hand, have been played in many many theatres over the years, starting with theatres in Elizabethan and Jacobean London like The Rose, Newington Butts, The Theatre, The Curtain, The Globe, and the Blackfriars. The plays were also performed at court, in various palaces, in the homes of noblemen, and in other private venues like the hall of the Inns of Court (Law School). One notable performance was on a ship anchored off West Africa. Plus during times of plague, the company took their plays on tour, which means that they were performed in innyards and country homes all over southern England. We have no idea how many places saw Shakespeare's plays during these tours.

After the Restoration in 1660 performance continued at two theatres, Drury Lane and Covent Garden, but during the eighteenth century they were performed in more and more venues; by the nineteenth century, performances in America and Europe were common. Nowadays, you can see Shakespeare performed anywhere in the world.
