The document discusses early Elizabethan drama theaters which took place in inn-yards and great halls, influencing later playhouses. Civic authorities in London were unhappy with performances in city streets and inn-yards so plays moved just outside the city walls, where authorities still complained about large crowds gathering in the "liberties and suburbs."

1. THEGLOBE The first theatres for Elizabethan drama were of two kinds: Inn-yards and GreatHalls, and both influenced the later playhouses. However, the civic authorities of London were unhappy with playing in the streets and inn-yards of the city proper, but within two years they were alredy complaining about the “great multitudes of people” gathering out in the “liberties and suburbs” of the city, outside the city walls.
