In 1592, specific attendance figures for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre are not well-documented, but the venue could hold around 3,000 spectators. Popular performances could attract large crowds, with estimates suggesting that thousands might visit in a week, particularly during the summer months when more plays were staged. However, without precise records, it's challenging to provide an exact number for any given week in that year.
