This is an overview of how The Globe was built. On the ground was where the poor people were. On the second and third floor is where the higher class people sat. Nowadays, it would be more expensive to sit on the floor because that is where the best seats are. Before, it only cost one penny to sit at the floor even though they were actually better seats!

Nobody was harmed when The Globe burnt down. One man’s chair caught fire, but a bystander put the flame out with his bottle of beer!

This is what all actors wish to happen at the end of a performance in the Globe Theater, a standing ovation.

This is William Shakespeare! He's a play-write, story teller, word and phrase inventor, and showed his plays at the Globe Theater!

The poor people who stood at the front were called stinkers or penny-stinkers. There are rumors, but no proof, that they threw fruit and nuts at the actors.

This is the layout of the Globe Theater. On the right, is showing where the higher class people sat, on the top is the "hut" which probably is where Shakespeare wrote his plays. And on the left is where the actors got dressed up, stored their props and hung out until they were ready to perform!

Performances were held in the afternoon because the best source of light was the sun in the 1500's. Unfortunately, the open roof allowed rain to come in, which unfortunately soaked the audience below. When a performance was going to begin, or it is already being played, a flag was raised over the theater.

These are some examples of the typical costumes which were used during performances! Actually, these costumes shown were actually used in daily life during the Elizabethan period, not just in performing!

This is a map showing the Globe Theater in London. As many other famous structures in London, it sits along side of the river Thames.

The globe theater was burnt down by a cannon by accident in the play about King Henry XIII in 1613.
