Why is the danish flag red?

I know this is not a good answer, but the Danish vikings also had a red banner (with a black raven on it), so when the current flag was adopted in the 12th century, it was probably natural to choose red as the main colour.

What does redblack and white flags mean in a theaters Shakespeare?

The story is well-entrenched that they would fly different coloured flags at the Globe Theatre to tell the patrons what kind of play was being played: red for history, white for comedy, and black for tragedy. The problem is that the division of the plays into these neat categories did not take place at the time they were first performed, and many plays do not easily fall into these categories.

There is no contemporary record of this practice. There is record of flags being used at the theatres, but no mention of their colour. I think this story is a myth.
