I bet you've seen Shakespeare in Love and you think, "Aha! It's Queen Elizabeth I." But she didn't "come to watch" Shakespeare's plays. She told the Lord Chamberlain's Men to come to her. The same goes for James I and members of his family and all of the richest and most powerful people at the time. None of these people would ever go to a playhouse.
Of course there are probably many famous people who watched Shakespeare's plays at the theatre during his lifetime: writers, playwrights, poets, musicians, and anyone else who wasn't of the upper crust. And after the Restoration, everyone went to the theatres and just about anyone who was famous for anything had at one time or another seen a Shakespeare play.
What else can I help you with?
What positions would people watch shakespeares plays from?
People watching Shakespeare's plays would either be sitting or standing. If the people had extra money they could pay for the privilege of sitting during the play. The poorer people would have to stand in the theater pit to watch the play but there tickets were much cheaper.
What was the cost to stand in the yard of the playhouse to watch Shakespeares play?
One penny.
Why do people still read shakespeares works?
Presumably because they do not have an internet connection or a DVD player or access to a theatre so they can watch them be performed as was intended. Shakespeare did not intend that anyone apart from the actors should read his plays. Everyone else was to pay admission and watch.
What did they do in 16th and 17th century for entertainment?
they went to watch public execution, watch plays from the famous Shakespeare, shin kicking, football and some others
Did people still have to pay if they didnt get to sit down at shakespeares plays?
Of course! They were paying to get into the theatre and watch the show not to rest their legs. Those who had money could pay extra for a seat. The standing room tickets at the big public theatres cost a penny.
What would Shakespeares say about entertainment today?
hmm...i think that'll be an opinion question. if it is homework help then just put what you think of it by common sense. (i would say horrified since there is just TV and no one gets off their butts, and watch plays ☺)
