Globe Theatre

Shakespeare helped to co-found the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594. It became the King's Men in 1603.

There were four places on the Globe stage where an actor could appear to be hiding from the others. First, the roof over the stage was supported by two large wooden pillars, which an actor could hide behind. These were probably the "trees" in As You Like It and the place where Troilus and Thersites hide in Troilus and Cressida. Then there is the "concealment space", a small room in the back wall with a curtain in front of it, used to hide Ferdinand and Miranda in The Tempest. Finally, there is the balcony above the stage. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo (behind a pillar) is spying on Juliet (on the balcony), but the person on the balcony could just as easily be spying on the stage.

It is owned by the Nederlander Organisation, one of the biggest owners of theatrical and music venues in the UK. An American company, it was founded by David T. Nederlander in 1912.

The earth can be divided into northern and southern hemispheres (with the equator being the dividing line). It can also be divided into eastern and western hemispheres (with North and South America being in the western hemisphere, and the other continents (except for Antarctica) being in the eastern hemisphere.

The cliche'd idea is that the role of women was to stay around the house, cooking and cleaning, to cook and clean in the house, raise children and feed her family; they did not go to school, and men were considered the superior sex. The men had the choice of who they married; the women had little or no choice. In Shakespeare's time, women were not treated humanely but more like sex objects. Men were seen as the superior sex of which had complete control over women and could marry who ever they wanted. The women had no say in who they married to. Basically the two genders were not treated equally. Also women could not go to school. Instead, they had to stay at home to cook and clean. Men could also bet on the behavior of their wives to see which is the 'tamest' (if you believe the play The Taming of the Shrew to be an accurate reflection of reality). Obviously a lot has changed since Shakespearian times and men and women are now treated more equally and have the same rights as each other.

The reality was much more complex. Clearly it does not apply to nuns, or prostitutes, or widows or to the most important woman in the country, Queen Elizabeth, who neither cooked nor cleaned, was incredibly well-educated, constantly rebutted suggestions that she should marry this or that person, and was a terror to all those men around her. Sure, when she spoke at Tilbury, she said "I know that I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman"--that was the cliche--but she continued "but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a King of England too."

In other words, formidable women have always found the way to be a force in their world, and to subvert the cliche. It is no surprise that in Shakespeare's plays in which young women are to be forced into arranged marriages (Midsummer Night's Dream and Merry Wives of Windsor), both Hermia and Ann Page escape the arranged marriage and end up with the guy they want. In the play where the man is being forced into an unwanted marriage (All's Well that Ends Well), on the other hand, he not only has to go through with the wedding, but he is roundly criticised for not liking it.

Ann Shakespeare, for example, clearly chose William as a husband, as the match was not one that would have been arranged (and was concluded largely due to the onset of little Susannah). While her husband was off in London establishing a career in the theatre business, she was in Stratford with the three kids for over twenty-five years. During all that time, she ran the house, fed and clothed the kids and herself and did what work she could to supplement the income which must have been irregular, particularly at the start of William's career. She must have been a remarkable woman, and yet there must have been many like her.

On 29 June 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, wadding from a stage cannon ignited the thatched roof and the theatre burned to the ground 'all in less than two hours, the people having enough to do to save themselves'. Fortunately no lives were lost.

1. Painted backgrounds

2. 3rd actor

3. increased chorus to 15

about 5.6 million dollars but this includes all of your screens and plus all of your electrical wires to run into the building.

The Globe (and all Elizabethan theaters) used flags to advertise their play that day. The Globe used white flags to advertise that the play performed that day would be a comedy or of a light subject. Black flags advertised a tragedy, or play with dark subject matter such as death. Red flags indicated a play associated with blood, usually historical. Sometimes flags with pictures of the next scheduled pay would be flown.

the wings; it's the areas in between the big black/navy blue curtains

The first Globe Playhouse existed in London, in England between 1599 and 1613. Many of Shakespeare's plays were performed on the Globe theatre for the first time.

He was a part owner of the Globe as well as being a partner in the company that performed there.

The puritans caused all theatres to be shut down, the globe was one of the first

the landowner demolished it.

women on top, kids on bottom, hooks in the dressing room and animals on stage

there also might've been different places for different classes to sit. like the Upepr class might have gotten better seats???

By and large, there were not seats, people stood in the middle, there were boxes for the very wealthy, but everyone else stood on straw and other detritous

The Golden Globe Awards were held January 11, 2009 from the Beverly Hilton hotel. They were broadcast on NBC.

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.

They would throw anything they got their hands on. They would curse, scream, fight, etc.

in 1599 the first Globe Theatre built

For many centuries the seating was made of wood. Trajan (ruled 98-117) rebuilt it entirely in stone.The Circus Maximus was rebuilt after fires several times. It was redeveloped several times, too. The seating was expanded. Drainage systems were created to deal with floods. Monumental buildings were built around it. Yet, the seating remained wooden until Trajan's days.

Some differences include:

Lighting, actors and the theatres themselves.

LIGHTING:

It is different because there were no lighting effects back in Shakespeare's time. The daylight was the only lighting that they had back then. With today's technology, we can achieve all kinds of different fancy lighting effects.

ACTORS

Now a day, female actresses can perform on stage. Back in Shakespeare's time, only men were allowed to act. But what if there were female roles, I can hear you asking. Well, men would also play these roles. It was said that it was immoral and wrong for women.

THEATRES

In Shakespeare's time the theatres were 'open - air' constructions. For the lower class people they could stand on the floor right in front of the stage. For more wealthy people they could buy 'gallery seats' or could sit on the stage. Today, our theatres are enclosed and seats are in front of the stage and no one is allowed to sit on the stage, nor just stand in front of it.

Hope this helps guys! :P

A "Unit Set" is used in most theater competitions. It is standardized group of risers, ramps, pedestals, etc., that will be available at a contest site. Each group performing may arrange the set pieces any way they desire, but requiring the Unit Set not only places each group on an equal footing (wealthier schools can't bring a dazzling set), but also assesses creativity in how the set pieces are used. It is suggested that each group build their own Unit Set for home rehearsals. Standardized pieces and dimensions should be published in the Region's/State's contest rules. (In Texas it is in the published "UIL C & CR").

All the sonnets are provided here, with descriptive commentary attached to each one, giving explanations of difficult and unfamiliar words and phrases, and with a full analysis of any special problems of interpretation which arise. Sonnets by other Elizabethan poets are also included, Spenser, Sidney, Drayton and a few other minor authors. The poems of Sir Thomas Wyatt are also given, with both old and modern spelling versions, and with brief notes provided. Check the menu on the left for full details of what is available. And did u no he was actually gay :) hope this silly info helped :Dxx:):):)

There has been much debate about this question, and only theories as to how theatre started. I believe it has many origins. Religious cerimonies and rituals (such as war cerimonies, etc.) are among a few happenings that brought about theatre. People would dance to bring rain or whatever and pray to the deities. This later developed into people reinacting stories of their gods in front of each other. Another origin of theatre is the art of storytelling. People would tell stories and sometimes reinact them to pass on important information to the next generation such as stories of ancestors or stories to teach young ones important life lessons. The first actor that we know of is Thespis from ancient Athens. The Greeks would sing ancient hymns, called dithrambs, to honor the god Dionysus. Later, they would dress up in costumes and wear masks to tell stories while singing in chorus. Around the sixth century B.C., began the festivals of City Dionysia (among other festivals) where they held competitions for music, poetry, dance, and singing. Among the most talented winners was Thespis. Thespis was the first person we know of who astounded audiences by actually portraying the characters as he was reciting the poetry. Thus, he is known as the first actor, and we theatre people are referred to as "thespians."

The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."
