Describe the audience in the globe theatre?

Answer 1

The audience would be nothing like the audiences in the plays nowadays. The groundlings, especially, were noisy and unruly. They also eat, drink and talk throughout the performance, and even shout out lines that they thought the actors should use. If the play was bad, they would throw rotten fruit at them, and mock the actors if they were bad actors. Women probably played the traditional female role and screamed or gasped when something frightening or horrible occurred in the production, while men probably played the traditional male role and comforted the women.
