Here's a link to a good bit... I've heard this Shakespeare scholar speak... apparently there were virtually no sets, and about the only prop they took everywhere was a throne... came in handy for all kinds of things... maybe you can contact him...

Google "Globe Theater". I do know that they used costumes from their own time, not historically accurate ones. To see what the costumes, sets, etc. must have looked like, rent the DVD or video of the Laurence Olivier version of "King Henry V" (not the the more recent Kenneth Branagh one, which IS historically accurate).
