Actually in Elizabethan era theaters were called playhouses and I have found no reference to public playhouses so they were all private. Playhouses were also not considered the best places to go and were considered to be "dens of iniquity encouraged delight in idleness, excessive vanity, revelling, luxury, wantonness, lasciviousness, whoredoms" The long association between prostitution and the stage made the playhouse a very rowdy place.

How does Creon's view of private versus public duties differ from Antigone's in 'Antigone'?

That there is only one set of duties as defined by the gods and that duties are defined by the state is the respective difference between Antigone's and Creon's views of private versus public duties in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone considers all duties of Thebans in their private and public lives to be pre-defined by the gods. She therefore decides that a conflict between the private need for proper closure and the public need for governmental stability does not exist. This is in contrast to the views of her uncle King Creon. Creon maintains that private duties are controlled by the father figure as modeled on the king's role in the royal household and that public duties are controlled by the king who is answerable to no one.


Why were Elizabethan plays always acted at night?

They weren't. Although when plays were acted indoors at court, private halls and indoor theatres like the Blackfriars, they were acted at night, the open-air outdoor theatres like the Globe needed sunlight to illuminate the stage and so the plays were put on in the late afternoon.
