The
Globe Theatre
The
Globe Theatre was built in 1599 by Peter Street; he was on the Thames
River on the outskirts of the city of London; about 30 meters in
diameter this size allowed the entry of a total of 3351 spectators,
nevertheless can not know if the theater offered a role with his body
capacity.
The setting was a box protruding from the circumference of the construction industry and invaded the proscenium, measuring approximately 13 meters wide by 8 feet deep and five feet tall.
Had two hatches through reached the stage where the lower part thereof, the first was at the anterior and the other in the rear. The bottom of the stage was known as hell and there appeared and disappeared supernatural characters (demonic) such as the ghost of Hamlet.
The columns were on stage supporting the roof where another trap from which hung divine personages from the sky was; probably these were sustained with ropes and / or harnesses that could get at the time.

The three doors to the scenario leading to backstage where they hoped their entry where the actors and characters out the wounded dying offstage, they then were led up to one of the doors so the audience could see them without the need for them to enter the stage again, and so understand that they were really dead.
Above these doors a balcony that was used was when a headspace was needed to develop the action; one of his most famous uses was in the familiar scene from Romeo and Juliet.
The Theatre dismantled material was used for the construction of this theater. After expiration of the license of that theater (the first Elizabethan) in 1597 its owner, James Burbage, must move it across the Thames renaming.
Like most theaters of the time (except for Blackfriars that was covered) The Globe was homeless for construction of the proscenium, which prevented presentations rainy days, for this reason, and because of Winter cold, theater only worked during the summer (May to October) while daylight lasted. The presentations were held during the weekends, beginning after lunch, at about two in the afternoon (I had lunch around eleven, twelve) and extended until nightfall; this for obvious reasons of lack of lighting is well done. Localities costing from 1p on the stage (where they were standing) to 6 for the audience.
This theater served as a refuge for the theater company Lord Chamberlain's Men in which participated the famous playwright William Shakespeare; this room had the honor of being the birthplace of works such as King Lear, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello, etc.

The theater inside
In 1613 a fire destroyed the premises of the theater, but was immediately rebuilt in 1614 and demolished in 1644 under the shadows of English Puritanism reborn condemning theatrical presentations of the Elizabethan era.
In 1997 the theater reopened its doors under the name of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre respecting the forms of ancient construction. The site is located about 200 meters from the site where it opened its doors for the first time. Like the original single plays are set during the summer season, but unlike that only seats about 1,500 people.
