In Shakespeare's time, all levels of society attended plays. the working class spent a penny to stand as groundlings in the yard surrounding the stage. The middle class spent three pence to sit on stools or benches in the galleries, and wealthy patrons spent sixpence to watch from Lords Rooms, the equivalent of skyboxes today.
