Globe Theatre Props

The Globe Theatre is not usually associated with the use of props. However many Props and Special Effects were used to enhance the dramatic and visual effects of plays performed at the Globe Theatre. The better the spectacle, the bigger the audiences and the greater the profit - much like the modern theatre we enjoy today. A static location, such as the Globe Theatre, allowed for the storage of props. This was not a practical option for the plays performed by travelling acting troupes at the Inn yards. The building of the first Elizabethan Theatres therefore saw the increase in the number of props used.
