The story of SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE
Theatres in those days were very different from today. The Globe was a round building
and the area in the middle, called the *pil', was open to the sky. The performers acted
on a stage that came out into the pit.
If you didn't have much money, you could pay one penny (the price of a loaf of bread)
o stand in the pit to watch the play. Richer people could pay more to sit on seats
sroond the sides of the building under a roof. Audiences were noisy - they shouted,
capped and booed, and they often brought food to eat during the play.
The goverment closed all London theatres in 1642. But that wasn't the end of the story for
the Globe. In 1997, a new theatre opened nearby - and it looked almost the same as the old
one. The builders followed the same design and used the same materials. Now people can
watch Shakespeare's plays in a new Globe Theatre -- but with modern lights and toilets!
