Elizabethan Theatre

• In Shakespeare's times rich people employed companies of actors. There were no


actresses. Young women's parts were played by boys and older women's parts
were played by the company's clowns. All the actors were at the same time
musicians and dancers.
• Actors first began performing to the public in inn yards. The first theatre was built
by James Burbage. It was simply called the Theatre. Burbage's son Richard became
the country's leading actor who played a lot of parts in Shakespeare plays.
• The Elizabethan Theatre usually was a round building with the stage in the centre
open to the sky with a central area for a standing audience. People bought seats in
the galleries round the sides. If the weather was too bad, there was no
performance.
• The English Renaissance Theatre declined after the death of Shakespeare.
