What else can I help you with?
What was the 'cutpurse' and what might happen to them at the Globe Theatre?
They are pickpockets, they would be burned at the stake.
The Globe Theatre the actors might call the famous playwright by what nickname?
The Bard
What sort of behaviour would you expect to see at The Theatre or the Globe Theatre?
Elizabethan outdoor theatres like the Rose, Theatre, Curtain, Hope, Swan, Globe and Fortune had a reputation for rowdier crowds than the indoor theatres at Blackfriars or the Cockpit. Most of the time, the audience was paying attention to what was going on onstage, if possible. But they also might be buying food or drink, stealing people's purses or negotiating with prostitutes. If the play was unsatisfactory, the audience might make catcalls or even throw things at the actors. If the play was controversial it might start a fight among the patrons, or cause the show to be closed down. And since the plays were two hours long, beer was consumed by the patrons and there were no washrooms, you can guess what else they did.
What was it like to sit in the globe 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.
When was the moden replica of the globe theater?
The modern replica of the Globe Theatre, known as Shakespeare's Globe, was opened to the public in 1997. It is located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, near the original site of the 1599 Globe Theatre. The reconstruction was initiated by American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, who aimed to create a space for experiencing Shakespeare's plays as they might have been performed in the 16th century.

Is the globe theatre a type of cinema?
The word "theatre" includes cinemas where you see images projected onto a screen and also places where you see real live actors perform on stage. There might be a theatre called the Globe Theatre which is a cinema because it's a common name for theatres. But the most famous Globe Theatre (1599-1613) was destroyed many centuries before the invention of cinemas, and was exclusively built for stage plays.

How was William Shakespeare theatre destroyed?
If there was a theatre called "William Shakespeare Theatre", you will have to be a little more specific. Was there such a theatre built in Akron, Ohio in the 1930s? Or in Calcutta in the 1890s? If the theatre you are talking about is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre", it is still standing, having been built in 1997. If the theatre you are talking about is the Blackfriars Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted and held a small share, it was demolished in 1655. If the theatre you are talking about is the First Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare also acted and held a small share, it burned down on June 29, 1613. If the theatre you are talking about is the Second Globe Theatre, which was built to replace the first one in 1614, and which might have had nothing to do with Shakespeare, it was torn down in 1644.

When was the Globe Theatre standing?
It depends on which of the many Globe theatres which there have been around the world since the first one was built you might be talking about. The first one was built in 1599 and burned down in 1613, some 14 years later.
What was used to construct the globe theatre?
The first Globe Theatre, the one built in 1599, and the other outdoor theatres of its time such as the Rose, Swan, Curtain and Fortune, was built of wood timbering with whitewashed plastering. The stage was wooden, under a large wooden canopy held up by two mighty pillars, each made of a single tree trunk. Some of these materials might be hard to find, if it were not for the fact that the Burbages, who were the main financiers behind the Globe, owned a theatre (called The Theatre) which they could not use because it was on rented land and the landlord refused to allow any theatre patrons onto the premises. The Burbages, or rather their contractor Peter Street, dismantled The Theatre when the Landlords were out of town and saved the larger beams (like the two pillars which held up the stage) so they could be reused when Street built the Globe.
Did the Globe Theater have red curtains?
It depends on which Globe Theatre you are talking about. If you are talking about the one Shakespeare worked in, it had a thrust stage, and so had no curtains between the stage and the audience as a proscenium stage would have. There was probably a curtain over the "concealment space", a recess in the back wall behind the stage, but we have no information about what colour it was. It might have been red. Or black. Or puce. Or just about any colour. If you are talking about some other Globe Theatre you will have to be more specific.
