Three types of stage

The Globe Stage Outer stage Inner stage Upper stage Hell Actors' entrances Special effects level

The Performance All the actors were men or boy apprentices Hearing the play / viewing the play Setting created through dialogue Many stage props Elaborate costumes (but anachronisms) Audience participation

Mimesis – realism - illusion Definition of mimesis Puritans mainly reacted against theatre as “trickery” and actors as “con men” “Illusions are the Devil’s work!” The plays of the age became deliberately anti- mimetic to quieten this view Anti-mimetic devices: the artificial language, boys playing women, soliloquies, three- dimensional playing, familiarity with actors, metatheatrical jokes etc.

Performance Conditions Great crowd – traffic - “parking” problems Plays lasted 2-3 hours Food and drink – apples, nuts, water, bottle ale “Toilets” in the corridors (buckets) or the river Smells: the industries, perfume, tobacco, garlic The hats Cutpurses, prostitutes, fights, riots

Special effects The blood, gore, limbs Trapdoors in floor and ceiling Wires, ropes and harnesses Cannon in the attic Fireworks Sound effects
