Hey guys, welcome back to another post. In this post I will be explaining the structor and meanings of an Elizabethan theatre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you look at the image above you can see that there are many different levels, the bottom levels would be for commoners and those of a lower class whereas the top levels would be of the high class. One of the reasons that the wealthier people were at top was due to weather, a lot of the lower levels wouldn’t get covered and people there would get rained on. It’s quite similar to theatres now a days were if you want a box seat or a seat higher up you need to pay more money.

An interesting fact about the theatre there is that it is set in the round, meaning that you can see most of the stage from different perspectives. It is built this way to allow more room for the audience. This technique is still used today and one of the challenges in Destination Imagination uses this as a way to give more of a challenge.

I find these theatres quite interesting and learnt in class that during the Elizabethan time there were great differences of how people were treated if they were of a lower class than now.
