Answer:

to set the mood and tone of the play and provide background information

to provide a hint to the audience about what will happen later in the play

Step-by-step explanation:

The prologue is about easing the audience into the story. To make them a little more familiarized with the setting, the mood, and maybe the theme.

It's certainly not about spoiling the plot or informing about technical issues.
