Best Answer

Before they started making theatres on purpose for performing in, about when Shakespeare was ten years old, plays were put on in improvised spaces in houses or large halls. A favourite place to do this was in inns which were built around a central courtyard, enclosing it with usually a couple of stories of rooms. A stage would be set up in the courtyard, called the inner yard (as opposed to the space around the outside of the inn), and people could watch from the ground or from the balconies of the rooms. Innyard theatres continued even after the purpose-built theatres, which were designed to mimic the interior of innyards, with an open courtyard surrounded by covered balconies. This courtyard could be called the inner yard, using the terminology from inns.

What makes Berthold Brecht theater different from the greek and shakespearean theater?

Brechtian theatre is an abstract form of theatre. Its main feature consists of breaking that boundary between actors on stage and the audience watching. Generally, the actors will enter and/or exit from the audience and pose socio-cultural issues that will make the audience member ask themselves a sub-conscious question about the issue. Shakespearean and Greek theatre is somewhat your stock standard form of theatre.
