Best Answer

Everyone was informed to close their eyes at the appropriate time. Actually, if you've been to a professionally produced play recently you will probably have seen that no plays nowadays are performed with curtains--it's a totally obsolete practice. The end of scenes and acts they turn the lights down.

The question of how they did plays without stage lights is also easily answered. Check out any production done at the New Globe in London, which has neither lights nor curtains and is a reproduction of the theatres of Shakespeare's day. Basically, you know the play has started because there is a flourish of trumpets or trombones and somebody walks onto the stage. You know the play is over because they stop acting. Sometimes they have an epilogue so you know that the play is done.
