What was the audience like at the global theatre when shakespeare performed?

The audience would be nothing like the audiences in the plays nowadays. The Jacobeans would talk throughout the whole play, and even shout out lines that they thought the actors should use in their monologue. If the play was bad, they would throw rotten fruit at them, and mock the actors if they were bad actors.


What were plays at the Globe theatre like?

Bad as audience would often boo at actors and fight with other actors and members of audience and grabbing the actors ankles would disturb them and ruin the play so it was mostly bad

Describe the audience in the globe theatre?

The audience would be nothing like the audiences in the plays nowadays. The groundlings, especially, were noisy and unruly. They also eat, drink and talk throughout the performance, and even shout out lines that they thought the actors should use. If the play was bad, they would throw rotten fruit at them, and mock the actors if they were bad actors. Women probably played the traditional female role and screamed or gasped when something frightening or horrible occurred in the production, while men probably played the traditional male role and comforted the women.


Did the Globe Theatre sell concessions?

Yes. You could buy fish or chicken on a stick to eat, wine or water to drink, and tomatos to throw at bad actors. They may have sold more but that's what I found.

Did ancient Greek throw rotten food at bad actors?

if they did it was very rare. some people believed that the actors were gods in the forms of humans (they thought that was why the actors were so good, because they were gods) so only the foolish people who had no fear of the "gods" would throw items at the actors. does that help?

Is it bad luck to throw a cat?

Not by superstition. But please don't throw cats because they will most probably bite you, hiss at you, and to be frank, hate you for a very long time. Cats have a very good memory! It isn't bad luck by superstition, but it IS bad luck for the person who decides to throw it. Although as stated above it is not considered bad luck to throw a cat, it certainly is bad karma.
