Was the scenery of Shakespeare's plays visual?
In most of the original Elizabethan productions of Shakespeare's plays, there was very minimal scenery. Aspects such as time and location were largely supplied by the actors' dialogue (i.e., "This castle hath a pleasant seat"; "Methinks something's rotten in the state of Denmark!"). The appearances of the surroundings of the characters were largely left to the audience's imagination. Stages such as that at the Globe Theatre did, however, have a trapdoor, and also a cannon placed above the stage that could be fired for theatrical effect.
What plays were performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre?
"Shakespeare's Globe Theatre" is the name of the modern reconstruction of the Globe in Southwark, London, not far from the location of the original Globe. The repertoire of play performed there includes all of Shakespeare's plays, of course, as well as plays by Marlowe and other Elizabethan playwrights.

What was Shakespeare's share as householder?
His original share was one-fifth of ten percent which is 10% of total profits, then "Kemp" departed the Chamberlain's men, so Shakespeare's share increased, then "Will Slye" and "Henry Condell" joined and Shakespeare's share dropped lower then the original amount. The ending amount is unknown but the common consensus among scholars is that it was somewhere around $200 - $250, a very substantial sum by Elizabethan standards.
What theater is currently over the original Elizabethan theater where Shakespeare's plays were performed?

Why do you think shakespeare is still important to play and films today?
The IMdb lists 783 movies and TV productions based in some way on Shakespeare's writing, 12 in 2009. There is a Shakespeare play playing somewhere in the world at any given time. Numerous acting companies devote themselves exclusively to the works of Shakespeare. Shakespeare continues to be more significant than any other single playwright in the world because he is more frequently acted, not only in the original but also in translations and adaptations. Why? Because he is genuinely better than other playwrights. Actors find his plays challenging; audiences find them moving and funny.

What is an Elizabethan word from one of Shakespeare's plays that is no longer in use?
There isn't one. Since all of Shakespeare's plays are constantly performed in their original language, all of the words he uses are currently being used, even if only for the limited purpose of performing his plays. The issue is complicated by the fact that some of the words Shakespeare used were words he made up himself, and did not catch on. One of my favourites is "superflux" which is used in the play King Lear and means "the excess". Shakespeare just made that up, but nobody uses it except people who are playing or quoting King Lear.
What was an elizabrthan theretre made of?
If you mean 'Elizabethan Theatre', then the most famous one was The Globe, in London, England, which was used by Shakespeare's company in Elizabethan times. It was made of wood mostly, and burned down at least once, but was rebuilt the first time. The original site was recently found during excavations for the bullding of another theatre in London, because the exact location had been lost for many years. Those involved in the new theatre were thrilled to find that they were right on top of Shakespeare's original Globe. You can find out more about this question by searching Wikipedia, and also by searching the Telegraph newspaper website.
Did William Shakespeare have a portrait?
Yes, there are two authentic portraits of Shakespeare: the memorial monument in Stratford Church and the Droushout engraving in the first Folio, probably the best-known image of Shakespeare. After this we are in the realm of speculation, hoaxes and frauds. A large number of portraits have been put forward as images of Shakespeare merely because they are Elizabethan portraits which do not specifically claim to be pictures of someone else. There are only two such portraits which have more than a totally speculative claim to authenticity. The first is the Chandos portrait, which appears to be remarkably similar to the Droushout. The second is the Sanders portrait which bears an original Jacobean label attached with original Jacobean glue saying that it is a picture of William Shakespeare.
