From the information and picture of the Globe theatre, we see there are some similarities and differences between the Globe Theatre and the theatres today. The 3 galleries the Globe theatre had back then is still similar to some big theatres today. Gallery seats in theatres today are also generally more expensive than those on the ground floor, so that is similar to Shakespeare’s time as well. The size and seating available is also somewhat similar to the theatres we have today! However, the theatres of the present are so much more comfortable as they are mostly well-sheltered and have seats for everyone. The circular structure is also very similar to the theatres of today as well. It probably made viewing the performance clearer for everyone regardless of which angle they were seated! Check out the picture of the modern recreation of the Globe Theatre and our very own Esplanade Theatre below! Definitely some similarities seen isn’t it?
