The Globe Theatre, unlike some of the other theatres, was used exclusively to put on plays. Other theatres, like the Hope and the Swan, sometimes had bearbaiting and other types of entertainment. However, contrary to popular supposition, they put on a broad variety of plays, and not just plays by Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote no more than two or three new plays a year (after all, his total output was 38 plays in a 23-year career), yet the theatre companies had to premiere a new play every week or so.

The chorus sang and danced parts of the story of the plays to complement the actors' roles.
