What happened when it rained at the globe theatre?

Answer 1

When it rained at the Globe Theatre, audiences in the open-air sections—particularly those standing in the pit—got wet since the theatre had no roof over those areas. Performances would often continue despite the rain, as the show must go on. Patrons who had paid for more expensive seats in the covered areas were somewhat sheltered, but the overall experience could be quite uncomfortable for those exposed to the elements. This unpredictability was part of the charm and challenge of attending plays during that time.
