Elizabethan Theatre

Editor's Notes

  1. -The tours of these players gradually replaced the performances or the mystery and morality plays by local players, and a 1572 law eliminated the remaining companies lacking formal patronage by labeling them as vagabonds.-At court as well, the performance of masques by courtiers and other amateurs, apparently common in the early years of Elizabeth, was replaced by the professional companies with noble patrons, who grew in number and quality during her reign.-A privy council is a body that advises the head of state of a nation, typically, but not always, in the context of a monarchic government. The word "privy" means "private" or "secret"; thus, a privy council was originally a committee of the monarch's closest advisors to give confidential advice on affairs of state.-Although performing for the Queen’s court was definitely what had more prestige their “rehearsals” for the public are what supported them financially.
  2. Make up contained lead which led to death via lead poisoning.
  3. -Attending a public theatre performance would cost between 1 to 3 pennies, but admission to an indoor theatre would cost 2 to 26 pennies.-Everybody in the theatre audience was given a seat - the higher the price of admission, the more comfortable the seat was.
  4. FUN FACTS!The seating capacity of the theatre is 1500 people but 3000 people will be inside at the start of the show.Special effects at the Globe were also a spectacular addition at the theater allowing for smoke effects, the firing of a real canon, fireworks (for dramatic battle scenes) and spectacular 'flying' entrances from the rigging in the 'heavens'.
