Best Answer

Elizabethan outdoor theatres like the Rose, Theatre, Curtain, Hope, Swan, Globe and Fortune had a reputation for rowdier crowds than the indoor theatres at Blackfriars or the Cockpit. Most of the time, the audience was paying attention to what was going on onstage, if possible. But they also might be buying food or drink, stealing people's purses or negotiating with prostitutes. If the play was unsatisfactory, the audience might make catcalls or even throw things at the actors. If the play was controversial it might start a fight among the patrons, or cause the show to be closed down. And since the plays were two hours long, beer was consumed by the patrons and there were no washrooms, you can guess what else they did.

What was the name of the theater where most of Shakespeare's plays were made famous?

The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."
