Stage settings were relatively bare and {aside from|apart from} the pivotal object that the plot rested on like a bed, a throne or {a seats|a sitting} arrangement, there was {barely|scarcely|rarely} much else.

'The Theatre' built in 1576 by James Burbage was among the earliest playhouses in modern England since the ancient Roman and Greek times.
At that time in 1576, William shakespeare was a young {young man|son|youngster} of 12 years and much too young to understand the impact of the new entity but his company, the {Master|God|Head of the family} Chamberlain's Men would go on to perform {in the|on the|with the} Theatre around the 1590s.
