The staging of Macbeth at the Globe Theatre would have relied heavily on the audience's imagination due to minimal scenery. There were two doors at the back of the stage used for entrances and exits to allow scenes to flow continuously between locations. A central curtain may have been used to depict private conversations indoors. Fight scenes, like those in Macbeth, were popular though the audience had to envision the action through the playwright's words rather than visual effects, as women's roles were played by men and technology was limited.

STAGING OF MACBETH
The plays would have started in the afternoons so that they could
make the best use of daylight. There would be very little in terms of
scenery.
In Macbeth there are many different lines referring to the time of day
that events take place or the weather. These lines all help to set the
scene for the audience and use their imagination. The openness and
simplicity of Shakespeare’s Globe is free to the imagination, that all
you need is for an actor to walk onstage with a candle and to say,
“How goes the night, boy? (Act 2 Scenes 1) The audience would
imagine the scene happening during the night even though it was
performed in daylight.
There would have been two doors set into the back wall of the stage
and these would have been the exits and entrances, allowing actors to
enter and exit from different entrances and for the scenes to flow
continuously from one location to another. There would also have
been a central curtain or double door on the back wall in the centre.
This curtain might have been used to show internal scenes with
characters coming out of or going into private rooms. This might be
used in Macbeth for Act 1 Scene 7 as the Macbeths have a private
conversation during Duncan’s banquet or the route into Duncan’s
bedchamber. If you had a seat in the third tier of the playhouse you
were sitting 'in the Gods'.
It was very popular for the actors to have a swordfight and Macbeth
has a lot of fight scenes in it. In Shakespeare's time, because of the
lack of set, lights and sound effects, and because the women were
played by men, the audience had to rely on their imaginations.
Shakespeare had to create the imagination of the audience through his
words. This is why, in Elizabethan times, you would talk about going
to hear a play, instead of going to watch a play.
