Where did the posh people sit in shakespeares globe?

When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.


What sign was there if a play was cancelled at the Globe theatre?

The Globe Theater used flags as a way of communicating information about the plays of the day. If the flag was raised it indicated a performance was scheduled. If it wasn't raised, the people knew the performance had been canceled. Colored flags also indicated the type of play that would be performed.


What was the name of the theater where most of Shakespeare's plays were made famous?

The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."

How many people seated to watch the play In globe theater?

The Globe Theatre, when it was built in 1599, was the largest theatre in London, with a capacity of 3000 people. It was eclipsed by the slightly larger Fortune Theatre shortly thereafter. However, not all of those 3000 people were seated; by far the majority stood for the performance. The modern reconstruction of the Globe (Shakespeare's Globe Theatre) has a capacity of about 1100 people, of which 400 are seated. The number of seated people in the original Globe was slightly higher as seats were sold on the balcony and on the stage itself if you had the pull and the money. The standees were expected to pack themselves in much more tightly than people would be comfortable with nowadays.
