When were performances held at the Elizabethan Theatre?
The early days of commercial theater involved performances in public spaces such as towns squares. Elizabethan acting groups traveled the country and sought lodgings at inns or taverns. The bigger the audience at the inn, the more profits were made. In the Elizabethan days the usual way of transport was on horseback, so all of the major inns had large cobblestone yards. The obvious progression was to stage the play in the inn-yards. The inn-yards were surrounded by balconies which led to the rooms which provided lodging for travelers.Ê
