In the Globe Theatre, the audience was separated into distinct sections based on social class and wealth. The lower-class spectators, known as "groundlings," stood in the open yard in front of the stage, paying a penny for entry. Wealthier patrons could sit in the gallery areas, which provided better views and comfort, often with more elaborate seating. This division reflected the social hierarchies of the time, influencing the overall theatrical experience.

In a modern theatre the audience sits opposite to the stage. In the globe the audience sits (partly) around the stage, in the manner of the ancient Greek theatres.
If the audience didn't like the play they wouldn't clap to it.
The Modern Globe theatre is based on the original design from Shakespears' time - so forget the heating. The audience is mainly standing, but there is some seating in the galleries.
