Poor people. As in "And didst thou not, when was gone down stairs, desire me to be no more so familiarity such poor people," from Henry IV Part II or "As you wish Christian peace to souls departed, Stand these poor people's friend, and urge the king To do me this last right." from Henry VIII or "Look, how the world's poor people are amazed At apparitions, signs and prodigies" from Venus and Adonis.

They were called Groundlings. They were given this name because they sat on the ground because they could not afford to purchase seats in the Globe Theater where Shakespeare preformed.

The cheapest seats weren't seats at all. For one penny you could stand and watch the play from the ground in front of the stage. If you wanted to sit you needed to pay another penny.

Why is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre called what it is?

It is called that because it is a reproduction of the First Globe Theatre which stood near to where Shakespeare's Globe is located from 1599 to 1613, when it burned down. It is called "Shakespeare's" Globe Theatre because at the time that it was built, in 1997, William Shakespeare was far and away the most famous person to have been associated with the First Globe. The name "Shakespeare's Globe" ONLY refers to the theatre built in 1997. The one built in 1599 and the one built in 1614 were both called simply The Globe. At the time they were built, William Shakespeare was not the most famous person associated with them, nor was he the principal owner of them.
