What Was The upper stage on the globe theatre?
All of the large open-air public theatres had, as far as we can tell, a large balcony above the stage with direct access from the tiring house (the building right behind the stage). The only actual picture of this is a picture of the Swan Theatre, built some four years before the Globe, which shows this balcony being flush with the tiring house wall at the back of the stage. In the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which opened in 1996, the upper stage projects over the stage.
We surmise that all the public theatres had such an upper stage because of the frequency of scenes in various plays of the time which seem to have been written with the upper stage in mind. Such scenes in Shakespeare include not only the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, but scenes involving conversations between someone on city walls and someone else on the ground (Henry V, King John), or between someone on the upper and lower parts of a castle (Richard II).
What were the different audience areas in the Globe the theatre called?
Basically, there were three areas:
1. The Pit, price one penny. This was the open floor around the stage. People buying tickets for the pit (called "groundlings") were packed in like sardines.
2. The Galleries, price tuppence. These were the roofed areas which encircled the Pit and the stage, three stories of them. The extra penny in the price bought you a seat. Even more money would buy you a cushion.
3. The Stage, price three pence. Really rich patrons could sit on the stage, although the better seat was in the balcony which overhung it. Actors had to put up with these aristos getting in their way when they were trying to play Juliet or some similar balcony part.

Why did politicians and clergy opposed the globe theatre?
The Globe, along with other theatres such as The Rose, The Swan, and The Hope, was located in Southwark, a borough south of the River Thames famous for brothels and general lawlessness. A theatre might bring 3000 people together--a ripe prospect for pickpockets and cutpurses. It was also a place where prostitutes could solicit for business. Clergymen opposed this on moral grounds (although some of them owned the brothels in Southwark) and politicians on the grounds that theatres increase crime and (it was thought) disease. The Puritan clergy opposed theatres on the general ground that enjoying oneself was contrary to God's law (a point of view still heard today), and when those clergymen got control of the government all of the theatres in the country including the Globe were closed. It was as a result of this that the Globe was torn down in 1642.
