3. Shakespeare's
Globe was the
most popular
English theater
of its time and
here most of his
plays were
performed.

4. Why was the Globe built?
The Lord Chamberlain’s
Men (Shakespeare’s
acting troupe) needed
a place to perform
their plays so they
could compete with
other acting troupes.

5. •It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing
company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Man , on land
owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his
son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew
Brend, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June
1613.
History of the Globe Theatre

6. WHAT IS THE BEAR GARDEN?
The Globe Theatre was
built in close proximity
to the Bear Garden.
In its best-known form,
arenas for this purpose
were called bear-
gardens, consisting of
a circular high fenced
area, the "pit", and
raised seating for
spectators

7. A number of well-trained
hunting dogs would then be
set on it, being replaced as
they tired or were wounded
or killed. In some cases the
bear was let loose, allowing
it to chase after animals or
people

8. •The theatres were
citcular or
octagonal, inside
there were tiers of
roofed galleries,
looking down n the
stage and yard
where the poorer
spectators stood.
THE ARCHITECTURE OF THEATRE

9. •Everybody entered
at the same place
regardless of where
you paid to sit or
stand.
•The stage juts out
onto the floor, so
some people would
view from the side.
Entrance View

10. •Poor people could
get into plays for
little money, but had
to stand. They were
known as
Groundlings.
•It would be very
difficult to see
unless you were
right next to the
stage.
Floor View

11. •From the middle to
the upper class
people could afford
to sit on the second
level.
•The second level
wrapped around
both sides of the
stage.
Second Floor View

12. •Only the upper
class could afford
seats on the third
level.
•For extra money
they could get a
padded seat.
Third Floor View

13. •In 1949, when Sam Wanamaker came to London
for the first time, he looked for the site of the
original Globe and was disappointed not to find
a more lasting memorial to one of the greatest
playwrights in the world.
•In 1970 he founded the Shakespeare Globe Trust.
The Reconstructed Globe

14. Today we
understand The
Globe's
significance as
a physical
center for
literature,
history, and
social
interaction.
