You know when they do disappearing acts on a stage? Like when a magician makes a person "disappear?" Well they actually made that person fall through the trap door. The trap door is usually situated around center stage and is used to move props or even people. It creates somewhat of an illusion.

Did the globe theatre have a trap door?
Shakespeare's Globe, a modern theatre built in 1997, is a replica of the Globe Playhouse, an Elizabethan theatre built by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage and the carpenter Peter Street in 1599. Like it, and like all theatres of that time and most nowadays, there is a trapdoor in the stage. This enables actors to suddenly appear or disappear from below (as the witches do in Macbeth) in a puff of smoke. It also could be used to represent a hole in the ground, like Ophelia's grave in Hamlet, or the mine being dug under the walls of Harfleur in Henry V.

What was hell in the globe theatre?
Trap doors were built into the stage allowing dramatic entrances during the performances of plays. The height of the stage was five feet - so the area beneath the stage was easily big enough to hold actors. This area underneath the stage was given the title "Hell". This was taken from the term 'hell mouth' which was used to refer to any trap-door in the bottom of a stage (called the cellerage). The Globe theatre stage was believed to have had two trap doors on the outer stage and one trap door on the inner stage called the "grave trap" Actors would hide in "Hell" waiting to make their entrance or to create other special effects. Unusual special effects could be made from 'Hell' including different sounds using different musical instruments such as the trumpet, or drums. Actors skilled in imitating the baying of hounds and crowing of roosters or the wailing of ghostly sounds would also be waiting in 'Hell'.
