Best Answer

The style of performance in the Elizabethan theatre was often overdramatic and over-exaggerated to carry across their point to their live audience. The audience loved the emphasis on certain phrases/dialogues because it was easy to understand and it was clear what the actor was expressing. The audience was known to go on about certain subjects that they felt passionate about and their exaggerated style really captured their attention.

Is the Elizabethan theater also the globe theater?

No, the terms are not synonymous. In the phrase "Elizabethan theatre" the word "theatre" does not always imply a building, but more often the style, customs, practises, plays, playwrights and actors which defined the theatre community in London during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). It can also mean a building built during that period specifically as a venue for play performance--what was at that time called a playhouse. The Globe Theatre was only one (although the most famous one) of these Elizabethan playhouses. Others included the Rose, the Swan, the Curtain, the Fortune and the Red Bull.

What are the other names of Elizabethan Theater?

Strictly speaking the Elizabethan Theatre was the theatre during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England 1558-1603. The Shakespearean Theatre was the theatre during the career of William Shakespeare, being 1590-1613 more or less. As you see, there was a lot of Elizabethan Theatre before Shakespeare got started and he also did a lot of work after her death, during the period of the Jacobean Theatre. The Elizabethan and Jacobean periods are sometimes called English Renaissance Theatre.
