They are two entirely different institutions and cannot easily be compared to one another:

NYT is an organisation you can audition for on a play-by-play basis if you are under a certain age. It is the only company of it's type existing at a national level in the UK and as such attracts many of the best young actors from across the country. Most young actors who are a part of NYT do so whilst working around a full time education at secondary school or college.

RADA on the other hand is more analogous to a university. They offer a variety of training programs for adults, probably the most famous of which is their full-time 3 year acting course (equivalent to a degree). RADA is one of many similar drama schools in the UK today and whilst it is easily the most famous it is by no means the most prestigious. Different schools favour different methodologies and produce different kinds of actors - as such it is difficult to objectively say which of the top schools is 'better'. RADA has been commonly perceived as the best place to go for classical/Shakespearean training. For information about other drama schools in the UK check out The National Council for Drama Training in the related link.

In short:

NYT is a company for young actors.

RADA is a training centre equivalent to a university.

Both have proven to be effective routes into the industry.

Bear in mind that competition for entry into either is incredibly fierce. RADA for instance has an applications to admissions ratio of over 100 to 1 (this is common for most of the top schools). Even upon graduating, the career of an actor is risk laden and unstable. But if it's the one thing you want to do above all else, go for it.

How were the social classes divided in the theatre in Shakespeare's time?

The social classes in the theatre were arranged so the richer, higher class people had the better veiw and more comfortable seats.

The poorer seats were in the open air space in the middle or the theatre with no seats unlike the richer classes above them.

What props were used at the globe theatre?

Globe Theatre PropsThe Globe Theatre is not usually associated with the use of props. However many Props and Special Effects were used to enhance the dramatic and visual effects of plays performed at the Globe Theatre. The better the spectacle, the bigger the audiences and the greater the profit - much like the modern theatre we enjoy today. A static location, such as the Globe Theatre, allowed for the storage of props. This was not a practical option for the plays performed by travelling acting troupes at the Inn yards. The building of the first Elizabethan Theatres therefore saw the increase in the number of props used.List of Globe Theatre PropsThe Globe Theatre props would have started with easily moveable objects such as:§ Swords and daggers§ Goblets and plates§ Chairs and stools§ Candles and torches§ Blood soaked handkerchiefs§ Writing materials§ Manuscripts§ Bottles of Wine or ale§ Whips§ Books§ Blankets§ Helmets§ Armor§ False jewels§ Crowns§ Skulls and bones§ Animal furs§ Flags and banners§ Caskets and containers§ Flowers and petalsAs time went by larger objects were used as Globe Theatre Props§ Benches§ Beds§ Thrones§ Cave§ Barrels§ Well§ Tables§ Canon
