I'm pretty sure intervals weren't a thing in Shakespeare's day; he certainly didn't write with them in mind. Which isn't to say that nobody was selling pasties, of course. Theatres were very much public spaces back then (and the Globe's yard still feels like one). Ref e.g. https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=475128109 https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=475128109
