Answer:

Shakespeare`s sister couldn`t get training in acting because at that time women couldn't be actors so that men played women's parts. ... For instance, they were not allowed to be on the stage because it was considered "dangerous." Consequently, men played male characters as well as female characters.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It was considered that gentlewomen could not go on the stage. It wasn't until December of 1660 (about 45 years after Shakespeare's last play) that Margret Hewes (at the age of 15) was allowed to perform.
