Explanation

Elizabethan theaters attracted people from different social classes, and audiences often reacted loudly during performances. Acting companies were made up of men and boys, so women’s roles were played by male performers; parts were not acted only by women. The choice about sets brought to life by lighting and orchestras does not fit Elizabethan theater, which relied largely on its actors and language rather than elaborate stage effects.
