A full house would be around 800 groundlings and 1500 others in the "galleries". ]]> 2019-02-04 22:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bdsullivan1001_2/wynktzmkl6dl/wish/327565554 performances bdsullivan1001_2 https://padlet.com/bdsullivan1001_2/wynktzmkl6dl/wish/327567076     plays would run for 6 -16 showings

There was no scenery so the audience would use their imagination. This made the audience rely on the playwright's descriptive skills. The stage was covered by a canopy (painted to look like heaven on the bottom). There was also a trap door for dramatic entrances , and curtained areas in the back for scenes. Balconies were also located on the stage.]]> 2019-02-05 22:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bdsullivan1001_2/wynktzmkl6dl/wish/328044263 the actors bdsullivan1001_2 https://padlet.com/bdsullivan1001_2/wynktzmkl6dl/wish/328046785 Companies such as The King's Men at The Globe would consist of about 25 actors.

His first plays rhymed and had a "fashionable" rhythm as later on he moved on from that , and become more expressive than what rhyme would allow. This allowed more emotion in the dialogue which was a great advantage. This would allow for him to work with imagination as well.]]> 2019-02-05 22:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bdsullivan1001_2/wynktzmkl6dl/wish/328047112
