Although the pervasiveness of televisions and recorded music have made most people oblivious to performances going on around them, people attending plays did and for the most part still do spend their time watching the actors and listening to what they say.

The Globe theatre was the theatre that Shakespeare's plays were mostly performed in. It can seat up to 1500 people and up to 3000 if people stand outside. Shakespeare's plays were usually packed so therefore around 1500 or more people watched Shakespeare's plays!!!


Did Shakespeare invent plays?

If you mean "Did Shakespeare invent the concept of plays?" the answer is no, he sure did not. People were writing plays in Greece 1800 years and more before Shakespeare was born. They had plays in Rome too, but the Romans weren't very good at drama, and ultimately plays had to be reinvented. However, English drama was certainly reinvented by the time Shakespeare was born, although it was improving all the time. If you mean "Did Shakespeare write plays?" the answer is of course yes. If he hadn't written plays you would never have heard of him.
