The government only allows the children's performances, but they end up taking a critical tone even more corrosive than those of adults.



Shakespeare criticizes this atmosphere in one of the largest tragedies that writes, Henry IV, a play starring the sarcastic and relaxing Falstaff (a character that Shakespeare will return to the happy married in Windsor after the queen told him that I wanted to see the fool in love).

Without The Theatre, the company had to rent a playhouse. Then at the end of 1598 they decided to build one for themselves. The shortage of cash made the consortium reluctant traditionalists, giving up the idea of an indoor theatre in the city and using the old Theatre's timbers and therefore the same basic auditorium shape for the new building. The old playhouse was one of their few remaining resources. They could not use it in situ because the lease had expired, so they dismantled it and took the timbers (illegally) to make the skeleton of their new amphitheatre.

11. Explain how acting at the Globe was like

Acting at the Globe was radically different from viewing modern Shakespeare on screen.The plays were staged in the afternoons, using the light of day. Therefore, all references to weather or time of the day had to be given to the audience through the text.The audience surrounded the stage on all sides. No scenery was used, except for occasional emblematic devices like a throne or a bed. It was almost impossible not to see the other half of the audience standing behind the players. Consequently much of the staging was metatheatrical, conceding the illusory nature of the game of playing, and making little pretense to stage realism .
