Answer 1

women on top, kids on bottom, hooks in the dressing room and animals on stage

By and large, there were not seats, people stood in the middle, there were boxes for the very wealthy, but everyone else stood on straw and other detritous

Answer 2

There were 3 levels. The first was the floor in front of the stage. This had no seats and the tickets were sold to men only. It was very rough and loud. Often fights broke out and very few listened to the play. The next level was on the second floor. This was for couples and to some extent they watched the play. The third floor was for "working" girls who catered to the the men on the first floor. They were not there for the play. Among all of this were ladies who sold baskets of Oranges.

Answer 4

The people who were seated were seated in a circle around the stage in a series of galleries. The rest of the audience stood in the space between the galleries and the stage. In the indoor theatres it is thought that seating was also provided on the floor.

Answer 5

In Shakespeare's day, in both indoor and outdoor theatres, the stage was thrust so the audience could see it from in front and from both sides. The standees had the cheapest tickets, but were also closer to the action. The next most expensive tickets were for the two or three stories of boxes which surrounded the stage where people could sit. Most exclusive of all were seats actually on the stage, which was a practice much more common in the indoor theatres. (Beaumont and Fletcher's play The Knight of the Burning Pestle makes use of this practise by having some of the actors sit on the stage and pretend to be in the audience. They then insist that their apprentice be a character in the play.)

Answer 6

All of the theatres in Shakespare's day had thrust stages. The audience sat on three sides of the stage. Sometimes they sat on the stage or behind it. There wasn't a particularly clear line between the actors' space and the audiences. Some playwrights made use of this confusion, including Shakespeare in the Induction to The Taming of the Shrew.

Answer 7

Not all of them did sit--a number of them stood.

The Elizabethan and Jacobean theatres were modeled after innyards, with a thrust stage in the centre surrounded by a circle or rectangle of tiers of seats. This arrangement was used for outdoor theatres like the Globe and indoor ones like the Blackfriars. In the outdoor theatres the space between the tiers of seats and the stage was given to standees. In the indoor theatres that space was filled with benches so the people in the Pit could also sit. This was because tickets for the indoor theatres were more limited, and hence more expensive, than those for the outdoor theatres.

After the closure of the theatres between 1642 and 1660 the indoor theatre model was further adapted by doing away with the thrust stage and replacing it with a proscenium.

Answer 8

Shakespeare performed in three kinds of venues: outdoor theatres, indoor theatres and makeshift stages. In all cases the stage was surrounded on three sides by audience. In the case of the outdoor theatres (Theatre, Curtain, Newington Butts, Globe), the audience nearest the stage would be standing, whereas those further back would be sitting although raised so as to be able to see over the others. In the indoor theatres and makeshift stages at court or in people's homes, everyone had a seat. Especially in these venues, really important people might have a seat on the stage itself. The seats were just wooden stools or benches; if they could afford them, they could have cushions.
