What do they use Shakespeare's theatres used for in our days?

Answer 1

No theatres from Shakespeare's time are in use today. They were all taken down before the 17th century was out. The Red Bull Theatre (which had nothing to do with Shakespeare) was probably the last to go.

Answer 2

They would often be round, (due to the name - the globe) with the stage in the middle and various seating and people standing. Elizabethan theatres : # rounded/oval # central stage # various stalls etc for seats and floor for standing ----

Answer 3

In Shakespeare's day, theatres had a thrust stage, that is, a stage with audience on three sides. During the Commonwealth these theatres were mostly torn down and the new ones built after the Restoration tended to be proscenium stages, with audience on only one side. Only in the twentieth century have theatre designers increasingly returned to the thrust stage design. Nowadays theatres are more like they were in Shakespeare's day than they were a hundred years ago.

The main change in theatres is in lighting. In Shakespeare's time the stage was lit with natural lights or candlelights, neither of which allowed for much flexibility in performance. Today, with banks and banks of powerful stage lights, usually computer controlled even in amateur theatres, many complex lighting effects can be achieved. So great a tool is modern lighting design that in many productions (especially of plays where the setting changes frequently) the lighting takes the place of the elaborate sets which were the keynote of the Victorian theatre. It is lighting which has allowed the theatre to return to the simpler stage dressings that the Elizabethan theatre used.
