Aside from the play itself, getting to know a little bit about the history during the time that this play was made might be useful. Historical events in which took place during this time period could have had an effect on the "characters". This could all lead to discovering why a specific character in the play might say, or act the way they do. Acting is all about re-acting, but in order to get into your characters shoes, you need to become them. Knowing the gender roles that signifies this specific time period might be that last key in re-creating a character.
