There are no drawings that exist today that completely shows the original Globe Theater's design. However, from ruins and drawings of other theaters of the time, the Globe Theater is probably a building that has from 14 to 24 sides. It had one main entrance that had a picture of Hercules holding Earth drawn over it. Near the picture was the Globe's motto in Latin, which translated to," The world is a playhouse," similar to the soliloquy from As You Like It, one of Shakespeare's comedies. Inside, there was a large yard where groundlings, common people who paid one pence to get inside stood to watch the play. The stage was large and could fit many actors. It was also raised a few feet above the ground, where stagehands below could make sound effects without being seen. This area was also called "Hell."
