The interior of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Yes - it is an open-roofed theatre and yes, plays are still performed inside! Trying to keep things as authentic as possible, they've left space in front of the stage for standing tickets. 1000 peasants would typically squeeze themselves into that small space! There are boxed seats behind the stage for the "educated aristocrats", chairs for the upper class, and benches for everyone else. Being at the theatre changed the way I envisioned Shakespeare and the times! Posted by Picasa
