What are the benefits of a thrust stage?
Solo performances may do well on a thrust stage, as will performances that require a greater amount of intimacy with the audience: dramas. Performances that little use of props or small/no sets may also benefit from thrust stages, because the function of a thrust stage is to bring the performer(s) closer to the audience. Sets and props are not needed for certain performances.
Who acted in Shakespeare's plays?
Shakespeare's plays have continuously on the stage (with a twenty year hiatus) since they were written, and have been continuously filmed since 1899. That is a lot of productions and a lot of actors over the centuries. Before 1660 the actors were all male, but since that time actresses have played the women's parts and sometimes the men's parts as well. And many actors and actresses eagerly embrace any opportunity to perform what are universally regarded as the best plays ever written, sometimes people you might not suspect of wanting to perform Shakespeare. For example:
- Keanu Reaves played Hamlet in a stage production in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
- Diane Venora has played Ophelia and Gertrude on film and also has played Hamlet on stage.
- Morgan Freeman played Coriolanus in a film made in 1979
- The very first person to play Hamlet on film was the French actress Sarah Bernhardt in 1900.
- Kenneth Branagh's 2006 film of Hamlet employed a large number of actors who did not specialize in Shakespeare. Some, like Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, worked quite well, but others, like Jack Lemmon and Gerard Depardieu, did not.
- Bill Murray played Polonius in a film of Hamlet in 2000
- A young Alan Ryckman played Tybalt in a BBC Romeo and Juliet
- Michael Fassbender as Macbeth

How did the audience behave during Shakespeare's plays?
As far as we can tell, they were reasonably well-behaved because they liked the plays. However, Elizabethan and Jacobean audiences could get very rowdy. There are a number of recorded incidents of fistfights and riots taking place among patrons of the Fortune Theatre, home of the Admiral's Men. There are also records of audiences throwing food at the actors if they didn't like the play; this is not known to have happened at the performance of a Shakespeare play, all of which were extremely popular.

What were the major differences between theater then and now?
It depends what you mean by 'before'. They're in colour, more immoral (sex scenes are now a lot more de rigeur), more use of computer effects. Older films tend to be reliant of the use of extras, filming some movies were extremely dangerous, particularly Ben Hur. The accents have also changed-the clipped accent has gone.

What functions do acts or scenes have in plays?
Usually acts are parts of the play that are between intermissions. A one act play does not have an intermission. A two act play has one intermission. A three act play has two intermissions and so on.

Acts can be thought of as chapters and scenes as sections (paragraphs) of that chapter.
