Who performed plays in England before theatres were built?
In 1567 the first purpose-built theatre in England was built. Before that time, acting companies had to go on tour and play on such makeshift stages as might be available, in rich people's houses, town halls and innyards. Innyard theatres, which continued in operation well into the 1600s, were the model for the early playhouses. Most acting companies continued to play in such makeshift spaces even after the purpose-built theatres were built because there were many more companies than theatres. Even nowadays, acting companies on tour will play anywhere they can set up. That tradition is far from dead.

But the Globe was not even the oldest theatre in Britain which was intended as a theatre not just an innyard. The Theatre in Shoreditch, built 1576, was the first. Newington Butts, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and the Blackfriars all were built before The Globe.

Where were William Shakespeare's plays perfomed?
Shakespeare's plays have been performed in many many different theatres around the world in the 400-odd years since they were written. Even if you are asking which theatres they were first performed in, there are many answers, since he wrote plays for over 20 years. Many of his later plays must have premiered at the Globe (built 1599) or possibly at the Blackfriars (after 1608) or even at court. We know there was an early performance of Twelfth Night at the hall at the Inns of Court (Law School). The earlier plays might have been premiered at the Curtain Theatre which was the home of the Lord Chamberlain's Men before the Globe, or the Theatre, which was their home before that, or possibly at other theatres before Shakespeare became firmly attached to The Lord Chamberlain's Men, such as the Rose, or Swan, or Newington Butts, or the innyard theatres of the Bel Savage, Bull or Crossed Keys
