The Octogonal Structure Roared from Shakespeare's Performers

The Globe Theater was an octagon shape and had three different stories to it. Levels one and two were for dressing and storage. Level three was upper stage and balcony, resembling the courtyard, or a bridge of a ship. The Globe Theater was built with oak wood and timber, the walls were made with plaster. The stage had a canopy over it that represented “the heavens”, moon, stars, planets, sun, etc. There were two pillars supporting the canopy. The stage did not have a curtain either. There were trap doors, entrances and exits, underneath the stage were represented as “hell”. This theater was located in an area called Bankside.

Shakespeare was at the height of creative powers, and his theatrical company, the King's Men, was the official royal acting company. He had the large Globe Theater, a large public playhouse on the south bank of the Thames. He would soon open the Blackfriars Theater, a small private

It first faced difficulty getting built, for the first landlord had a severe dislike towards plays. Then, it had competition with surrounding theatres, which plagiarized works to attract audiences, but luckily, the theatre had its set of unique special effects that attracted audiences. The playhouse was then later burned down and rebuilt, only for Puritans to demolish the theatre in the end. Prior to this research of the Globe Theatre, I only knew of it as a famous and popular stage theatre that William Shakespeare helped fund to build, but I had not recognized nor known of the difficulties it had throughout its existence. Despite all the troubles that the playhouse faced, the theatre eventually made itself known as the grandest and most loved theatre in the Elizabethan era, and its innovative ideas have helped shape modern special effects and live theatre action. To me, the Globe Theatre was a successful business that had succeeded in capturing its customers despite competition and impediments, and it was able to outshine other playhouses to gain audiences because it had its own set of unique special effects that made it a prominent theatre. Each time it was closed or taken town, the theatre would be rebuilt again, and audiences would flock through the entrance once more, all the way until its final closure. Knowledge of the theatre has taught me that despite the many obstacles and conflicts in the way of one’s goal, one can succeed so long as they persist, just like how the playhouse continued to stand and eventually made its name as “the” theatre of its

To begin, The Globe Theater had a very unique building structure. In the article “The

The history of theatre in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries is one of the increasing commercialization of the art, accompanied by technological innovations, the introduction of serious critical review, expansion of the subject matters portrayed to include ordinary people, and an emphasis on more natural forms of acting. Theatre, which had been dominated by the church for centuries, and then by the tastes of monarchs for more than 200 years, became accessible to merchants, industrialists, and the less privileged and then the masses.

Theatre today as in ancient Greek times is a popular form of entertainment. Today’s theatres share many similarities with the Greek predecessors however they are also very different. There are in fact many differences for example; layout, special effects, seating arrangement, the importance of drama and religion, setting, location and architectural features.

Hurricanes have come into the spotlight in the last few decades. By paying more attention to what hurricanes have done to the people in their path, we can imagine how hurricanes affect our lives. Hurricanes are formed from tropical storms that form in the ocean. Hurricanes get destructive energy by gathering heat and energy through contact with warm water warm. Hurricanes can affect our social lives and economic systems.

After watching my mother who is a nurse for the NHS for the most part of my life, the way she shows full devotion to her work and her dedication, made me realise in my few years in college that I have had a passion for science especially in the medical field and heath. This was later reinforced by my frequent visits to the hospital which gave me the invaluable chance to talk to some medical professionals, which helped me reaffirm and come to a natural choice in healthcare. So why did I choose this course?

The theatre that you are most familiar with today generally comes via the movie version of an originally staged play. But if we go back further, we find that most of the theatre that is written and performed today can be traced back to Greek origins through various

The place of women within the theatre is well known, that being that they had no place within the stage.  Women's parts were played by young men in

The interest in writing about the reconstruction of the Globe Theatre has been manifested in the entire essay especially in the first two paragraphs of the essay. At the point where Greco identifies her particular concern which was the actor-audience relationship in the globe, Greco categorically indicates her interests in writing about the reconstruction of the Globe theatre which in essence grew out of her experience of the Globe Theatre. It is clear from the essay that even in the early days of the reconstruction efforts, investigation of the relationship between the actor and the audience was some of the importance that had to be considered in the reconstruction of the Globe Theatre (Carson & Karim-Cooper, 2008). In this sense, they focused

This is a must watch Broadway show that makes your fine, terrible, or even boring day, an absolute blast. The Play That Goes Wrong has finally made its way to America and right at the heart of New York City near Times Square at the Lyceum Theatre. Therefore, the experience is a win-win situation for the audience. The Lyceum Theatre’s architecture is astonishing as it is filled with ornaments, I also realized the letter ‘L’ around the theater, but the most interesting fact is that it is a landmark. It has a proscenium stage while the audience is in the orchestra, balcony, or the mezzanine seats, like where I sat, and there is barely any space if you are a tall person. My seat was near the far end of mezzanine, I couldn’t see a part of the left side of the stage, so I found myself bending sideways to see what was going on, but I saw nothing. I found the side stage lights and a side balcony blocking my view and yet I had a great time.

“Women’s roles in the plays were acted by men or, more commonly by boys.” (Bommarito, 267). Boys were used for women’s roles because of their small figures and higher pitched voices. The boys began acting at the age of ten, learning the correct way to walk and talk on the stage. In addition they were also taught the art of applying make-up moving gracefully in the many layers of clothing that the Elizabethan women wore at that time.
