Best Answer

Elizabethan audiences enjoyed the plays they watched for pretty much the same reasons as people do today, which is why Elizabethan plays keep getting produced. They were probably quicker to understand what they heard than we are, and were better listeners (modern people expect a story to be shown to them, not told to them). Elizabethans particularly enjoyed wordplay that used puns and alliteration: that is why Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost was much more popular then than now. A lot of the wordplay in Much Ado is still accessible to modern audiences.

Was it quiet in the Globe Theatre?

The Globe theatre would have been very noisy. Most of the patrons stood in an area in front of the stage, smoking and talking were commonplace, and women would move around the audience selling snackfood (or other things).We have a contemporary play which satirises the rowdiness of a contemporary audience. In Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday two 'members of the audience' come onto the stage and take over the play.That must have been a constant worry for Elizabethan dramatists.
