one day........
In Shakespeare's time, a black flag flying above the theatre indicated that a tragedy was being performed that day. It was a signal to the audience about the type of play they would be watching.
The Globe Theater used flags as a way of communicating information about the plays of the day. If the flag was raised it indicated a performance was scheduled. If it wasn't raised, the people knew the performance had been canceled. Colored flags also indicated the type of play that would be performed.

The Globe (and all Elizabethan theaters) used flags to advertise their play that day. The Globe used white flags to advertise that the play performed that day would be a comedy or of a light subject. Black flags advertised a tragedy, or play with dark subject matter such as death. Red flags indicated a play associated with blood, usually historical. Sometimes flags with pictures of the next scheduled pay would be flown.

In Elizabethan theaters, flags were flown on the day of the performance to alert the people. The color of the flags indicated the type of play that was going to be performed. The color black symbolized a tragedy and comedy had a white flag.
She claimed she was Anastasia, but DNA samples indicated that she was not.
The most popular play in Shakespeare's day was Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy which was written in the 1580s and was being constantly revived into the seventeenth century.
Red indicated that it would be a historical play (King John, Richard II, etc.). Many of the "historical" plays were pretty bloody, so red was a good choice.
