Shakespeare's shows have been performed all over the world, including Great Britain. They have been seen at the Globe Theater in London since Elizabethan times. The Globe Theater in its time hosted a variety of different audiences who came to see many actors and actresses perform in the production of Romeo and Juliet. The theater can accommodate up to 1,500 people and more, so each performance takes place in front of a huge audience. Many spectators can watch the show from the field, right in front of the stage. To be exact, up to 3,000 people can fit there. In the early years of the Globe Theatre, before the introduction of central heating, audiences had to bring their coats and scarves in winter, as this theater is open-roofed. This meant that bitter cold air entered the room. After years of cold nights, performances were moved to indoor theaters in the winter. The directors, however, tried to avoid this as much as possible, which is why they tried to fit in as many plays as possible during the summer seasons. During the construction of the New Globe Theatre, central heating was installed. Thus, future audiences were able to enjoy each Shakespearean performance, even in winter. The Old Globe Theater also had limited artificial lighting, which was later changed, and it was made of materials with enormous fire hazards, such as wood, and had only one entrance /exit. Spectators should also bring weather-appropriate umbrellas or hats, as there is no roof to protect them from rain or sun. The Old Globe Theater had many rules, but most of them changed after it was destroyed in a fire in 1613. One of the rules that changed dramatically was the system that...... middle of paper ......ry VIII. Shortly after the cannon fired, the thatched roof caught fire. It didn't take long to spread because the building was made of fire-prone materials. The theater had to be demolished for health and safety reasons. However, it was rebuilt soon after, in 1614. But, in 1642, the Puritan Parliament issued an ordinance and put an end to the Globe Theater. It was demolished in 1644. The site of the Old Globe Theater was rediscovered in the 20th century and reconstruction began as close to the venue as possible. It is the theater that still exists today, which operated and organized numerous performances, including those written by Shakespeare. Overall, the Globe Theater has a lot of history behind it, some that historians are still working on, and has had many demolitions and rebuilds in its time.
