Answer:

a handbill advertising the play - this is the early version of the programs that are now given when you go to the theater.

fruit and other treats for sale - concessionary snacks

animal blood - this was used for special effects

young men playing female roles - females did not act in Shakespearean times, they were not allowed.

You would not find elaborate scenery or historically accurate costumes as the play's were very low budget and were not concerned with scenery and costumes as much as telling as story
