Actually, no. Shakespeare's plays attended her. She did occasionally have plays performed before her at court, and there is record that Love's Labour's Lost was performed at court at Christmas 1597.
No, not because loads of people wanted to assassinate her, but because she did not have to. All she had to do was to say the word and the Lord Chamberlain's Men would come and perform for her at her palace. Besides, the Globe Theatre was built when she was quite elderly, only four years before her death, and she did not get about as much as when she was younger.
Although Queen Elizabeth didn't actually attend a Shakespeare's play at any of the playhouses, the playwright and actor did act in front of her majesty in special performances at her palace in Greenwich during Christmas of 1594 and 1597.
Some people say that Queen Elisabeth went to the Globe Theatre in disguise so that no one would recognize her. They say that she would sometimes go with a boyfriend or have a body guard dress up and pretend to be her boyfriend so she would have protection. Others, however, say that the Queen never did go to the Globe because one, it was unsafe, two, it wasn't proper, and three, they usually held it in their homes. It is most likely that she held plays personally for her and paid Shakespeare to bring his plays to her and preform them. Though it is very possible that she could have gone out in secret. I don't think anyone will ever know the truth for sure.
Queen Elizabeth was very fond of performance of all kinds--music, dance and theatre. However, she would not have attended the public theatres as suggested in the film Shakespeare in Love. All she needed to do was to summon the players to the court.

When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.
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.
it was rebuilt and christened by queen Elizabeth 2 in 1997
There were four different places to sit. The wealthy could sit right on stage.
