A barren woman is a woman who is incapable of conceiving, or incapable of carrying a child to term. A woman is termed "barren" if she never manages to have a child. This is an old, emotionally-charged term which also conveys a value judgement, as if the woman's value as a person were intrinsically linked to her reproductive ability.
none, only men could be in plays during the time that Shakespeare was around.
It was illegal in the sense that if a woman was caught doing it she could be arrested and taken before the courts. One woman this actually happened to is Mary Frith, a woman in Shakespeare's day who dressed and acted like a man all the time. She was charged with having got up on the stage of the Fortune Theatre and sung a song (probably in Dekker and Middleton's play about her, The Roaring Girl). The penalty was not harsh: she was given a penance and had to promise not to do it again.

Females weren't allowed to be actresses in any plays at all in Shakespeare's day. People thought it was indecent and improper for a woman to parade about on a stage showing herself off to any men who might happen to be there. It was as shocking as it would be for North Americans to see a twelve-year-old striptease artist. In fact, a French acting company with females in the cast (the French were OK with this idea) played in England in Shakespeare's day and were booed off the stage. The English would not allow females on stage until 1660 and even then it was considered to be an improper job for a well-bred woman well into the twentieth century.
Are you talking about at the time of Shakespear? Because it was unseemly for women to display themselves in such a manner in public. Kissing went on in the plays, and no woman kissed anyone other than her husband. 'Acting' wasn't a consideration.
Women could and did attend the plays. There was no issue with that. They were not, however, permitted to appear on stage. For a woman to show herself off to a crowd consisting of at least some men was considered to be the equivalent of a strip show, was considered to be indecent and outrageous and consequently illegal.
