SHAKESPEARES GLOBE THEATRE

The Globe Theatre audience was a very important part of the play. At this marvelous theatre was a pit where groundlings or stinkards stood, and they paid 1 penny. There were 3 galleries in the Globe Theatre where people could sit for more money. When rich ladies went they wore masks so they would not be seen. The groundlings would throw things and shout if they did not like the actors or the play. One good thing is that anybody could afford going to the theater. In the Globe Theatre, the audience was almost like another character. Shakespeare wrote his plays so the audiences could interact with the actors. In addition, there was even a part in the stage where actors would talk to the audience. This is why the audience was a very important part of the plays.

1. Flag- black for tragedy White for Comedy Red for History People could see it on the other side of the river

2. The Heavens- Ceiling over the stage painted with blue and stars. & Sound affects

3. Tiring House- dressing & storage room. Large props, entrances and exits, & actors resting and changes.

4. Upper stage- mostly bedroom & balcony scenes 5. Galleries- 3 seat sections that are covered paid more for the bench and more for a bench

6. Main stage- main place where action, people could sit on all 3 sides. High, lots of outdoor scenes

7. Inner stage- mostly used for indoor scenes & had a curtain

8. Open yard- people stand and pain 1cent and interacted with the actors

9. Support pillars- wooden pillars that supported the roof & they were painted so they would look like marble. Actors would hide behind when taking to audience or spying

10. Trap door- actors could go up or down if they were dead, ghost, or witches. Under the door was called hell.

11. Entrance- 1 entrance where everybody entered and put there money in the box. It took the audience about 1&30 minutes to come in to the theatre.

12. Brick foundation- since the globe was built on wet, mushy land the foundation needed to be strong.
