They weren't. Tilted stages were a feature of a later theatrical style, one where the audience sat on only one side of the stage and mostly below it. The result of this setup is that actors at the back of the stage were hard to see.

In Shakespeare's day, the audiences were on three sides of the stage and most of the audience was above it, so these problems did not arise.
