The Globe Theater influenced the art of theater in many ways. Principal among them was its construction and use of scenery - which allowed for more technologically advanced set designs.
The theater was in the classical amphitheatre design - with raised terraces and a "pit" in front of the stage. The higher stands (with comfortable seats) were set aside for the wealthy - while the poorest of people could watch the performances from the pit. This emphasized the distinct separation between rich and poor that existed in England at the time. However, it also demonstrated both classes' love for the spoken word and showcases the popularity of theater among all.
This dichotomy of audience, both the very educated, often noble audience-members and the illiterate "groundlings" - also influenced playwriting and performing styles. Because the knowledge level of each segment of the audience was so different, many playwrights of the time (especially Shakespeare) attempted to cater to both audiences. This explains the mixture of so-called "high brow" and "low brow" content in his plays. A good example of this is that higher-class characters in Shakespeare (like kings and princes) almost always speech in strict iambic pentameter and sometimes sonnets; however the lower class characters (like the Gravedigger in Hamlet) speak in prose. The allusions and jokes in their speech also reflect this change.
The Queen often visited the theatre and only those who paid money to get in.
1597 . Henry V
1614 the globe theartre was originally built in 1599 but was burnt down by a fire. It was rebuilt in 1614 but was shut down in 1642. A new/modern reconstruction of it was built in 1997. It still stands by the river thames to this day! hoped this helped!?:D

The Globe Theatre had wooden benches to sit on. You could get a cushion if you were prepared to pay. In Shakespeare's day, the plays went on for two or three hours without intermission, so I imagine your bum might get sore by the end.
In London. It is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, it is in almost the same location as the original and it is as close to the 1599 theatre as it is possible to get and still be within modern fire and building codes. For example, they are not allowed to pack 3000 people into it as they could in Shakespeare's day, and there are bathrooms for the convenience of patrons.
The opening day was March 36, 1610. And the play preformed was Kinky Girls Next Door.

Plays in the 15th century did not have a way to light the stage up.
