- 10,000 - 20,000 people would visit The Globe/ Theatre per week
- people had to pay on the door, putting money in the box. This is why it's called a box office
- Cities were crowded and smelly, that is why anyone who could afford it would ride on horseback otherwise they would have to walk
- Sometimes people would wee while standing because there are no toilets
Costume and Makeup:
- there were rules of who could wear what, so in Shakespeare's time people were known by what they were
- So the rich characters wore fancy costumes, whereas the poorer wouldn't
- The Theatre company at this time most of their budget was spent n costumes
- The fact that man played women meant they had to pay extra for wigs
- Clothing was so expensive that people would leave it in their will, and if they gave it to servants they were not allowed to wear it the servants would sell them to the Theatre
- They used stage makeup but it was used more the actors to be able to embody the characters
- and for men being women it would be pale face, red cheek, and red lips because that is how feminine beauty was viewed.
