The more theatres you see, the more you realize that there is no such thing as a "normal theatre". Your idea of what a "normal theatre" is comes only from your limited experience. There are some features of the Globe Theatre in London (more properly called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, opened in 1997). It is a replica of a sixteenth-century theatre, which makes it unusual but not unique. There are a number of others. It is an open-air theatre, which is also unusual, but such theatres also exist in, for example, Central Park in New York City. It is certainly a theatre visited by many tourists but the same can be said for any well-known theatre in the world.

∙ 9y agoThe stage in the Globe and its many contemporary theatres (the Rose, the Curtain, the Theatre, the Red Bull, the Fortune, the Swan, the Hope etc.) was a thrust stage. It thrust into the audience who sat in a semicircle around it. The back of the thrust stage is a wall leading to the dressing rooms and the backstage. The other three sides of the stage face the audience. A proscenium stage is, as it were, a box cut into a wall. It is open to the audience on only one side, like a window framed by the proscenium arch. Clearly, the feel of the two kinds of stage is different: with the proscenium stage the audience feels that they are peeking through a window at what is going on within, but with the thrust stage, the action is going on in the midst of the audience. The audience feels more connected to the action.

What was it like watching a play by Shakespeare?
Since Shakespeare's plays have been performed almost continuously for over 400 years, many millions of people have had the experience of watching a Shakespeare play performed. Every experience has been different, because not only is every production different, every performance is different, if only slightly. Speaking personally, I have seen Shakespeare plays performed in many different kinds of venues: in a tent, in a park, in a large proscenium-style theatre, in a large theatre with a thrust stage, in the reconstructed Globe from the second balcony, in a theatre-in-the-round, on the roof of an office building, in a tiny theatre where the actors were within touching distance of the audience. I have seen them performed by school students, amateurs, university students, professionals and well-known stars. I have seen very avante-garde productions, modern-dress productions, Elizabethan imitations, productions aimed at kids and Victorian pageants. I have seen productions with elaborate scenery and productions with no scenery whatsoever. And I am only one person, living in the twentieth and twentifirst centuries. So in order to answer your question, what you must do is go and watch a Shakespeare play being performed. Do this as soon as you can. Start your own collection of Shakespearian production experiences.

How was Macbeth staged in jacobean historically and today?
In Jacobean times, "Macbeth" would have been staged with minimal sets and props, relying more on costumes and dialogue to set the scene. Today, productions of "Macbeth" incorporate modern stage technology, elaborate set designs, and special effects to enhance the storytelling. However, some productions may also choose to emphasize the play's supernatural elements or set it in a different time period to provide a unique interpretation.
