What would it have been like to have visited the globe in Shakespeare time?

In many ways similar to attending a play at Shakespeare's Globe, the modern reconstruction. The seats or lack of them, the lighting and lack of electronic amplification would be very much the same. The crowd noise would have been the same, or actually worse because there would be food sellers wandering around selling their wares, and the audience would not have hesitated to heckle. The related link gives some idea of what it would be like waiting for the play to start. One thing that would have been very different would be the smell. Just think of all those people who bathe twice a year, watching a play for three hours without a break and without a bathroom.
