What is the song starting with the lyrics There once was a man and he was an encyclopedia?
I don't know the title of the song, but it's considered a "nonsense" song from England. These are the words to the entire song:
I once knew a man
and he was an encyclopaedia.
He could tell the weight of the moon to an ounce
And the name of every star.
He'd stand on a slope with a big telescope
And squint at Venus hard
Till all the pas of the girls on Mars
Complained to Scotland Yard.
For he knew all about etymology
Hebrew, Shebrew, ju-ju ology
Shin tacks, tin tacks, hob-nailed boot jacks.
He was full as a Pickfords' van.
He'd jaw for a week on ancient Greek
And speak of Plato too,
Of pots and pans and things in cans
And owls that went too-woo.
He'd analyse frogs from the Isle of Dogs
And set the Thames alight
Eat fish and chips and peas with pips
And give us all a fright.
What does thrust mean in theatre?
Most people know the traditional theatre seating configuration: audience in rows facing a stage. This is often called "auditorium" seating. The "thrust" configuration has a stage surrounded on three sides by audience members and is popular in smaller theatres and is used for more intimate plays. The actors are usually closer to the audience, and the scenery is minimized or altered so it won't block audience views of the entire stage. "Arena" or "in the round" staging involves audience members sitting on all four sides of the stage. Actors must be careful in this configuration to use diagonal movements in order that all audience members can see them, and the scenery is usually quite minimal.

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.
