Answer: Men

Step-by-step explanation:

Even the women characters in Shakespeare's plays were played by men. This was because women weren't allowed to be on stage before 1660 as acting wasn't deemed a credible profession. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616 which is way before 1660.

Hope this helps :)
