Most of the evidence I've collected here is reliable as it comes from realiable and trustworthy sources such as the BBC Bitesize website, however some of it came from articles that might not be as trustworthy so I should look for alternative sources rather than include them in my Essay. Most of my research can be incorporated into my essay i just have to be careful to cite and reference only academic sources such as books and use the rest to inform my own perspective and opinion.

Research (1): This is reliable as it is an Academic Source written by a well known and well respected author who is an expert in his field. I can use quotes from it in my essay to back up my points and to use as evidence. However, I have to be careful which quotes I pick as they will be biased towards the Authors opinion.

Research (2) & (3) This is a compilation of information regarding Naturalism. Because this is compiled from a number of different sources, including my own knowledge, it means that some of the information might be unreliable. The information could be used in my essay to inform my opinion. It won't be biased as it isn't opinionated it's just general facts.

Research (4) This is a list from an article online about the top 10 on screen actors who also perform on stage. Because this is just an online article and it doesn't offer any proof as to how they came up with the list it isn't very reliable and is probably very biased based on the writters opinuon, because of this i wont be able to directly reference it in my essay but I should instead use it to influence my own opinions and for my case studies for Unit 10.

Research (5) A list of the top 50 best plays of the last 100 years. This is informative and i can reference some of the plays in my essay however because the actual article isn't very reliable and it doesnt offer anything as to how they came up with the list.

Research (6) This is a list of the top ten musicals in London. I could use the article in my essay as they show how they based the list on different things such as popularity, profit, and how long they've been running aswell as giving the actual numbers.

Shakespeare's audience was the very rich, the  middle class and the poor. If you paid one penny you could stand at stage level, two pennies and you could sit in the galleries, three and you had access to the higher galleries with nicer seating. The very wealthy could also get the Lord's Rooms which were private galleries closest to the stage.
Shakespeare's audience was different to theatre audiences nowadays; they were less behaved and would eat and drink while they watched as well as talking back to the cast (Similar to a pantomime) xcvc

Naturalism is an extreme form of realism.

Naturalism was short-lived as a theatrical movement and performance style.

Stage time equals real time – eg. three hours in the theatre equals three hours for the characters in the world of the play.

Costumes, sets and props are historically accurate and very detailed, attempting to offer a photographic reproduction of reality (‘slice of life’)

Settings for naturalistic dramas are often bland and ordinary.
Naturalistic dramas normally follow rules set out by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, known as ‘the three unities’ (of time, place and action)

The action of the play takes place in a single location in a single day.

Jumps in time or place between acts or scenes is not allowed.
Characters in the play are shaped by their circumstances and controlled by external forces such as hereditary or their social and economic environment.
Often characters in naturalistic plays are considered victims of their own circumstance and this is why they behave in certain ways.

Characters are often working class/lower class.

Naturalistic plays regularly explore taboo subject matter.

Characters are believable, everyday types.

Costumes are authentic.

Stage settings (locations) and props are often indoors and believable.
The ‘box set’ is normally used for realistic dramas on stage, consisting of three walls and an invisible ‘fourth wall’ facing the audience.
Settings for realistic plays are often bland (deliberately ordinary), dialogue is not heightened for effect, but that of everyday speech (vernacular).
The drama is typically psychologically driven, where the plot is secondary and primary focus is placed on the interior lives of characters, their motives, the reactions of others etc.
Realistic plays often see the protagonist rise up against the odds to assert them self against an injustice of some kind.
Realistic dramas quickly gained popularity because the everyday person in the audience could identify with the situations and characters on stage.
