In the open-air theatres which flourished in London from 1576 to 1640, there was a trap door in the stage which could be opened to create the impression of a hole (like Ophelia's grave in Hamlet), or of something coming up out of the ground (like the witches in Macbeth). There was also a trap door in the bottom of the large and heavy roof which was built over the stage. The roof was large enough for people to enter and, for example, roll cannonballs around to imitate thunder. The trap in the roof could be opened to let an actor down on a rope, often in the guise of an angel or god (like Jupiter in Cymbeline).
