I assume for the very reason that illumination would have been nigh impossible, expensive and moreover dangerous. People would have had very different working days so afternoon performances or later in the summer period would to my mind have coincided with a type of siesta period. people may have returned to work afterwards or gone home. It would be curious to know what were the hours kept by public houses at this time

The Globe Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1613. A replacement built the next year was destroyed by the Puritans in 1643. "Shakespeare's Globe" a modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre was built in 1997 and hosts regular performances. Patrons can eat and drink during performances, food and drink are sold in the theatre before performances and during the interval. While food and drink are perhaps enjoyable during a performance, a the cushions, which are also obtained from vendors, are a necessity. The wooden benches become quite uncomfortable without them.
Sure, children are welcome at most performances at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. They often have school tours there. You are aware that the name "Shakespeare's Globe theatre" can only refer to the theatre built in 1997 and can never refer to the one built in 1599, aren't you?
James Burbage did not build the Globe; he built a theatre called The Theatre, which was the first successful purpose-built playhouse in England. His sons Richard and Cuthbert built the Globe Theatre in order (of course) to present public performances.
At the Globe Theatre, you could see a variety of performances, primarily plays written by William Shakespeare, such as "Hamlet," "Macbeth," and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The theatre featured a circular design with an open roof, allowing for natural light during daytime performances. Audiences could experience a lively atmosphere, with standing spectators in the yard and seated patrons in the galleries. Additionally, the stage was adorned with minimal props and elaborate costumes, enhancing the storytelling through dialogue and actor performances.
Posters (playbills) were distributed and displayed to advertise performances.
