Shakespeare's Globe is a theatre in London opened in 1997, intended to be a working replica of the Globe Playhouse built in 1599 and destroyed by fire in 1613. The inspiration for the project came from American actor Sam Wanamaker, who was astonished, when he arrived in London, that there was no memorial to the most famous theatre of Shakespeare's day. The purpose of having a replica is to commemorate the earlier theatre, and at the same time allowing people to experience how plays were performed using Elizabethan staging.

The Globe Theatre had wooden benches to sit on. You could get a cushion if you were prepared to pay. In Shakespeare's day, the plays went on for two or three hours without intermission, so I imagine your bum might get sore by the end.

What kind of theaters existed in shakespeares day?

Open air public theatres existed in Shakespeares day. They were built of wood, and were circular in shape. They had about three tiers of covered seating, and an open yard in the middle for the 'lower class' to stand and watch the play. They were called groundlings because they stood on the ground, and were only charged a penny to do so. The stage protruded from one side of the circle and into the yard. 'Upper class' theatre visitors could even pay to sit at the side stage to watch the play. There were two main theatres in London during Shakespeare's time, called The Rose and The Globe. Shakespeare predominantly played in The Globe. For more information, I would search 'Shakespeare's Globe'. A reproduction has been built in London which is meant to be based on the designs for the original Globe Theatre. The original burnt down in the Great fire of London in 1666.

Who were William shakespeares audiences?

At The Globe William Shakespeare's audience were very mixed. Standing places at The Globe cost 1d (one penny) and with a working man earning anything between 2d and 4d a day this meant that even working people could go to the theatre occasionally. At The Globe ordinary working people stood in front of the stage, while rich merchants or guildsmen (professionals: doctors, lawyers, jewellers &c) occupied the seats and the boxes. Towards the end of Shakespeare's career the Kings Men opened a second theatre - Blackfriars - which was indoors, and where the cheapest seats were 6d. This was too expensive for a working man, so the theatre started to become more exclusive once the Blackfriars theatre was open.
