1.There was no scenery2. Young boys played the women’s parts (girls were NOT allowed to become actors!)3. Plays were performed in daylight, from 2 o’ clock in the af-ternoon until the evening.3. A flag was raised to show that a play was being performed4. A trumpeter announced to the people that the performance was starting. 5.Colour coding was used to advertise the type of play to be performed - a black flag meant a tragedy , white a comedy and red a history.6. The trapdoors above and below the stage might be used for special effects.
