Well...they kinda were outside.
But the answer is that they said so. Shakespeare was brilliant in how he represented a change in location, the actors simply said they were changing location, keep it simple stupid was apparently his way of thinking. Read the plays you will see what I am talking about.

If you look closely at the text (and this is true of ALL of Shakespeare's plays), you'll see that the playwright ALWAYS includes necessary information as to locale and time of day in the text itself. The plays were originally performed in broad daylight with a minimum of scenery, and Elizabethan audiences were accustomed to HEARING, rather than seeing, where and when the action was taking place.
