The early days of commercial theater involved performances in public spaces such as towns squares. Elizabethan acting groups traveled the country and sought lodgings at inns or taverns. The bigger the audience at the inn, the more profits were made. In the Elizabethan days the usual way of transport was on horseback, so all of the major inns had large cobblestone yards. The obvious progression was to stage the play in the inn-yards. The inn-yards were surrounded by balconies which led to the rooms which provided lodging for travelers.Ê
Elizabethan theatres had performances every day, six days a week. And a different play every day as well!
Nothing. The Globe theatre was one of the Elizabethan theatres. Think of "Elizabethan" as a time or type, not an actual theatre with that name.
Various theatre performances and other cultural events are held at the Sydney Opera House.
It would cost a penny for the standing room at the Globe Theatre in Elizabethan time.
Strictly speaking the Elizabethan Theatre was the theatre during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England 1558-1603. The Shakespearean Theatre was the theatre during the career of William Shakespeare, being 1590-1613 more or less. As you see, there was a lot of Elizabethan Theatre before Shakespeare got started and he also did a lot of work after her death, during the period of the Jacobean Theatre. The Elizabethan and Jacobean periods are sometimes called English Renaissance Theatre.
