What kind of stage did the globe theatre have?

A thrust stage. It went out into the audience.


How could the audience tell the kind of play was going on at the globe theatre?

At the globe theatre they hung flags to represent what type of play it was. Black represented Tragedy. White was hung for a humorous play.


Why were there only male actors in the globe theatre?

Not just the Globe Theatre but any theatre. I think its to do with acting being thought as a disreputable enterprise and not the kind of thing women should get involved in.


What is the name of William Shakespeare's theatre in London?

During Shakespeare's lifetime, his plays were performed at at least six public theatres in London: The Rose in 1592-93, The Theatre in 1594-6, The Curtain in 1596-1599, The first Globe in 1599-1613, the second Globe in 1613-1616, and the Blackfriars in 1608-1616, as well as being performed on makeshift stages in country venues, in people's houses, in public halls, at court, and even on board ship. After Shakespeare's death in 1616 his plays continued to be played at the second Globe and the Blackfriars (as well as the makeshift venues) to 1642, when all theatre was banned. After the Restoration, Shakespeare's plays were performed at the Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres, and later, at just about all of the theatres in the world.


Why isn't the Globe Theatre still standing?

The first Globe Theatre was destroyed by a fire in 1613, and then rebuilt in 1614. When the Purtain's succeeded in closing down theatre it was demolished in 1644. The new Globe theatre was opened in 1997, where it remains standing today. It does not stand in the same place as the original Globe theatre though.

What is interesting about the history of William Shakespeare theater?

There is no theatre called "William Shakespeare Theater", at least not as far as I can tell, so your question might be about:One of the theatres Shakespeare worked in, like the Theatre, Curtain, Globe and Blackfriars. He also performed at the Rose and Newington Butts.One of the theatres Shakespeare had shares in, like the Globe or Blackfriars. Shakespeare was not the primary owner of any theatres.The reconstructed Globe theatre which now stands in London, the official name of which is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre".The state of drama at the time Shakespeare was working, in the same way we talk about "modern theatre", or "theatre of the absurd". The usual name for the kind of drama they had in England in Shakespeare's day was "Elizabethan drama" or "Jacobean drama".All of these have different histories with interesting facts. Did you know that Shakespeare and the company he performed with made the Curtain their main base when the landlord locked them out of the Theatre? Or that the Blackfriars theatre was constructed in the same room that a divorce hearing took place between Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon? Or that the reconstructed Globe theatre is the first thatched building built in London since 1666? Or that the demand for plays in Shakespeare's day was very great, because there were several acting companies, and each one brought out new plays once or twice a month?

What kind of script were the actors given at the globe theatre?

Not only at the Globe but at all Elizabethan and Jacobean theatres, of which there were several dozen, actors got partial scripts called "sides" with only the actor's lines and his cues on it. This was to discourage actors from selling the scripts to a rival company.
