What are props- and what sort of props did shakespeare have had?

In: William Shakespeare [Edit categories]

Answer:

The word "props" is short for "properties" and means any moveable thing which can be moved onto or carried onto the stage. This includes set props like tables, beds and benches, and hand props like swords, rings, candlesticks, letters and so on. Shakespeare did not own any props: the company he worked for (and which he was a shareholder in) did have all of the above props and many more.
