Lighting in Shakespearean Theatre?

In theatre, we have lightings.

As the light changes on stage, the atmosphere and the time change, and the audience’s mood is influenced by the lightings.

In Shakespearean time, they had no electric lights.

The theatre stayed bright in the daylight, or always lit by the candles.

How did they changed the mood, place, and the time of the scenes?

Jessica, the daughter of Shylock says, when her lover Lorenzo came to pick her up to run away;

“I’m glad ’tis night, you do not look on me,”

Yes, as soon as she says it is night, the audience accept it is night.

Words have power to move our imagination.

Use a word to move the person’s imagination you are talking to.
