How does the globe theatre in the past compare to the globe today?

Answer 1

In the globe theatre performances in the 1600's are very differnet to today because-

• Most of the women's roles, were played by men.
• The seats wouldn't have been as comforting.
• Because we are talking about the 1600's here, the currency was slightly different, as one penny, would have costed loads then enough to be a groundling in the thearte (a groundling are the people who stand in the belly of the theatre and there are no seats, and they stand under an open roof. So they pay for the cheapest views). Today a penny costs pretty much nothing, you can't get into the Globe Theatre with one penny!
• The groundlngs were not very nice, they would mainly come to tease the acotrs, and throw food and what not's at them! But today, we would like to think we are more respectful, and even if it isn't the most best play your watching you wouldn't throw food at the actors!

Answer 2

There would be a lot more people there. The original Globe held as many as 3000 people; the modern Globe although the same size is restricted to 1500. They would also smell unpleasant to modern noses. But that's the audience. The performance itself would be very similar: there are no sets and minimal props, natural lighting and natural amplification. The acting style is probably not dissimilar (the constraints of natural projection to a large audience restrict one's style). One difference would be that real animal blood might have been used to imitate blood and gore, which would appal modern health officials. Also, sword fights might have taken place very close to the audience, as Elizabethan actors would assume that the audience would have the common sense to get out of the way. We would make no such assumption these days.

The stage was lit by natural light so it was open to the sky.
