It was used to rapresent hell!
Hell, my english teacher told me.
the heavens refered to the false ceiling over the stage and the hell ment the floor of the stage. this website helps www.globe-theatre.org.
It's the part under the stage where the "demons" come from. There's a trap door on the stage that leads to hell. Also one it the ceiling that goes to heaven. Usually both are filled with spiderwebs.
Trap doors were built into the stage allowing dramatic entrances during the performances of plays. The height of the stage was five feet - so the area beneath the stage was easily big enough to hold actors. This area underneath the stage was given the title "Hell". This was taken from the term 'hell mouth' which was used to refer to any trap-door in the bottom of a stage (called the cellerage). The Globe theatre stage was believed to have had two trap doors on the outer stage and one trap door on the inner stage called the "grave trap" Actors would hide in "Hell" waiting to make their entrance or to create other special effects. Unusual special effects could be made from 'Hell' including different sounds using different musical instruments such as the trumpet, or drums. Actors skilled in imitating the baying of hounds and crowing of roosters or the wailing of ghostly sounds would also be waiting in 'Hell'.

The Globe, and the many theatres before and after it which were built to the same design, had the following areas: the galleries, where the audience could sit and watch the plays, the pit, where they could stand and watch the plays, the stage, the heavens (the roof over the stage), hell (the space under the stage, accessible by trapdoor), and the tiring house (the backstage, including what we would now call green rooms, workshops, costume and prop storage and so on).
Underneath the floors of the outer and inner stages was a large cellar called "hell", allowing for the dramatic appearance of ghosts.

The globe theater was not "high tech" as we know the phrase to mean today. Rather the systems it had were modern for that time period. For example TGT had hell (an area underneath the stage, and heaven space above the stage. there was a trap door on the stage that led to hell and a swing type thing that would come down from heaven and bring some one up. Also how the stage was very versatile and could be constantly deformed for a specific show. for more info see the link.
It was sometimes called "Hell" since people could come up on stage from the understage through a trap door. That's where the witches in Macbeth made their exit and where Mephistopheles in Marlowe's Dr. Faustus entered from. Although of course Dr. Faustus was never played at the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's day. It was played at The Rose and also at The Fortune, both of which had "Hells" of their own. The Globe Theatre was only one of many Elizabethan theatres which were all built on similar lines: the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose, the Swan, the Fortune, and the Hope were all similar theatres at about the same time.
Under neathe Hell is nothing because Hell is in the core\middle of the earth. S o in Hell it is very hot:(
Under the Sign of Hell was created on 1997-10-20.
