It was very lively, unlike now, the audience was not quiet during these performances. They would eat, drink, and even cheer or boo during the play

Answer:Theater in the Elizabethan era had no scenery or set. Shakespeare's troop was made up entirely of men, since theater was not considered an acceptable job for a woman, and preteen boys played women. Actors wore bright clothing, but rarely costumes, as they were portraying people of their own time.

You may be familiar with theaters serving sweets and baked good during intermission, but during the Elizabethan era, hazelnuts were served as snacks during the performance.
