Detailed explanation-1: -In Shakespeare’s day, London theaters like the Globe could accommodate up to 3, 000 people watching popular plays. With theaters running most afternoons, that could mean as many as 10, 000-20, 000 people could see a play every week!
Detailed explanation-2: -The low cost was one reason the theatre was so popular. Today, the place where you buy your theatre tickets is called the Box Office. In Shakespeare’s day, as people came into the theatre or climbed the steps to their seats, audiences had to put their money in a box.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Theatre was among the first playhouses in England since Roman times. Like the many other playhouses that followed, it was a multi-sided structure with a central, uncovered “yard” surrounded by three tiers of covered seating and a bare, raised stage at one end of the yard.
Detailed explanation-4: -There were two different types of playhouse in London during Shakespeare’s time. There were outdoor playhouses, also known as ‘amphitheatres’ or ‘public’ playhouses, and indoor playhouses, also known as ‘halls’ or ‘private’ playhouses.
