What did the Globe Theatre look like on the outside?

What was the atmosphere like in the globe theatre in Shakespeare's time?

When you think about it, this question can't be answered. You can talk about what we know about the big public Elizabethan and Jacobean theatres like the Globe. You can go to Shakespeare's Globe in London or watch films made about such productions (like Shakespeare in Love or Olivier's Henry V) to try to capture that feeling. But like all questions along the line of "What was it like to be there?" the answer is "You had to be there and experience it for yourself."


Who was Londons Queen in Shakespeare's time?

You are aware, are you not, that London is a city in the kingdom of England? Asking who was "London's Queen" is like asking who is the President of Philadelphia. The Queen of England was Elizabeth I when Shakespeare was born and continued to be so until 1603 when she died. For the rest of Shakespeare's life the Queen was Anne of Denmark, wife to James I.

What did English look like during William Shakespeare's lifetime?

If you want to know what their handwriting looked like Google images "Elizabethan handwriting". If you want to see what it looked like when it was printed, Google Images "Shakespeare First Folio", and "King James Bible 1611" You will note that the fonts used in Shakespeare's plays look considerably more modern than that used for the Bible--perhaps because there was a popular association with Bibles being handwritten by monks. Facsimile editions of Shakespeare's plays printed during his lifetime and also of things printed by his contemporaries (Jonson, Francis Bacon) can also be found online.
