Greek theatre did not have woman, modern theatre does have women.
How many theatres were around London when shakespeare died?
The Globe and The Fortune were doing good business. Henslowe had just opened the Hope in 1614. Newington Butts closed in 1594, the Theatre was closed in 1599, The Rose in 1606, The Boar's Head was just hanging in there (closed just after Shakespeare's death), and the Swan was still there but had not recovered from the fraud performance of "England's Joy" and was falling into ruin. The Red Bull and The Curtain were still available apparently.
Of the indoor theatres, the Blackfriars would last until the Civil War, but the Cockpit was converted to a theatre (by one of the former boy actors of the King's Men, Christopher Beeston) in August 1616, four months after Shakespeare's death. The Whitefriars Theatre had opened in 1608.
So, the Globe, Fortune, Hope, Boar's Head, Swan, Red Bull, Curtain, Blackfriars and Whitefriars: nine theatres that we know of.

The Globe Theatre was not closed in 1592 because it wasn't built until 1599. There were plague outbreaks in 1603 and 1608 which caused the theatres to close. This plague was pneumonic plague, not bubonic as is often incorrectly stated.
What is the layout of the globe theater?
There are no drawings that exist today that completely shows the original Globe Theater's design. However, from ruins and drawings of other theaters of the time, the Globe Theater is probably a building that has from 14 to 24 sides. It had one main entrance that had a picture of Hercules holding Earth drawn over it. Near the picture was the Globe's motto in Latin, which translated to," The world is a playhouse," similar to the soliloquy from As You Like It, one of Shakespeare's comedies. Inside, there was a large yard where groundlings, common people who paid one pence to get inside stood to watch the play. The stage was large and could fit many actors. It was also raised a few feet above the ground, where stagehands below could make sound effects without being seen. This area was also called "Hell."
How much did globe theatre balcony seats cost?
They were built out of carved stone they didn't cost that much
The stages of Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses were thrust stages, with the audience on three sides and a wall on the fourth. The audiences sat at two or three levels. In line with the second level, there was a balcony on the back wall. In some theatres, like the Rose, it covered the width of the wall, whereas in others, like the Swan or Globe, it could really only hold four or five people. This balcony or upper stage was used when it was desired to show that part of the action was higher up, at an upstairs window (as in Romeo and Juliet) or on city walls (as in Henry V and many history plays where cities are being besieged).
At the globe theatre how did the audience behave?
you would have been expected to behave silent and if you werent you would be kicked out and they would have took all your money/shillings. Actually, no. The audiences were more rowdy than that, though apparently not as rowdy as they were at other theatres like the Fortune or the Red Bull, known for having brawls between audience members, or when there was a riot at the Swan and the theatre was seriously damaged, both physically and in reputation.
