What was the globe thearte like?

Answer 1

The globe theater was the place most of Shakespeare's plays were performed in. Shakespeare even acted in most of them. It was big, round and open roofed (meaning it didn't have a roof). It had 3 floors, the wealthier you were the higher up you sat. And if you were on the bottom floor you had to stand. Some people sat over the stage, even though this meant they couldn't see the performance. This was because they wanted to be seen by the audience. People like Queen Elizabeth the first would've sat there. A gun would be fired at the beginning of every performance, so people knew that the play was starting. Because it was open roofed if you were standing on the bottom floor and it was raining, you would've got very wet. Back in those days they didn't have toilets, so people would've just gone toilet where they were. This caused the Globe Theater to be very unhygienic. It was also very cramped because so many people wanted to watch the performance's.
