How does the de3sign of the globe theatre compare with other designs in the London area?

We know very little of the design of the Globe theatre, in fact no-one knows what the inside looked like at all. The inside of the modern Globe is copied from an illustration we have of the Swan theatre's stage and audience pit - this being the nearest thing we have to a contemporary illustration of an Elizabethan theatre.


The area under the stage of Globe Theatre?

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.

What is a thrust stage?

THRUST STAGEIn theatre, a thrust stage (also known as a platform stage or open stage) is one that extends into the audience on three sides and is connected to the backstage area by its upstage end.Many of the works of Shakespeare were first performed on the thrust stage of the Globe Theatre and lend themselves to such a stage design in modern times as well.


Did the Globe Theatre have windows?

Our information about the Globe is much less complete than we'd like. The Globe may have had windows in the tiring house which stood behind the stage, and was the workshop, storage area and green room. It would have been logical for this area to have sunlight so that people could work in it. None of the images of the walls surrounding the stage indicate that these walls had windows and there would be no reason for them to have windows anyway. Everyone in that area would look toward the stage which was open to the sun.
