It was a real experience. The theatre had three levels. The floor level was for men only who stood the whole play (no chairs) and they talked, yelled, fought, and joked all through the play. There were ladies who sold Oranges ( why oranges I don't know). The next level was box seats and in these sat couples. Most were men out with the latest mistress and sometimes a wife. They paid more attention to play but also chatted and yelled out. The top floor had "working women" who met the needs of the men on the first floor. The place was also rather smoky since the lights were tallow candles and they gave off an oily smoky scent. People didn't wash much so there was body odor as well. No wonder Shakespeare had to have witches and ghosts in his plays to keep his audience watching.

What was it like to go to the globe theatre?
I enjoyed it. The best way is to go to the New Shakespeare's Globe in London and watch a play there. Or if you can't do that, then watch a recording of a play being performed there. Or watch the beginning of Laurence Olivier's Henry V, which has an impression of what Elizabethan theatre was like live. Then imagine that the crowd is rowdier.
In which 2 ways did people travel to Shakespeare's theatre?
You could get to the Globe Theatre or any of the other Southwark theatres from London by boat, or across London Bridge by walking, riding or in a carriage. However, a boat would not help you if you wanted to go to the Blackfriars Theatre, or the Curtain Theatre, or the Theatre Playhouse, all of which Shakespeare performed in, because these theatres were all on the same side of the River Thames as the City of London. You could walk or ride to these from a number of directions.

What happen to theatre companies during shakespeares time?
In 1593-1594 there was a really bad outbreak of plague in London. All of the theatres were closed, so the theatre companies had to go on tour of the country towns to try to make a living. However, they could not sell anywhere near as many tickets in the country as they could in the city, and a lot of them went broke and disbanded. The actors from these various disbanded companies reformed under new patrons. One of these was the Lord Chamberlain's Men, of which Shakespeare was a founding member.
