SHAKSPEARE

QUESTIONS !

http://WWW.XTEC.NET/AULANED/UD/ANGLES/LOVE/GLOBE.HTM

1. What was the name of the company Shakespeare belonged to ?


  • Lord Chamberlain's Men ( Later The King's Men )


2. How many companies were licensed to perform in London ?

  • only 2


3. Why did Shakespeare's company build the Globe ?

  • Shakespeare's company only built the Globe because they could not use the special playhouse that their chief actor Richard Burbage's father had built for them in 1596, a roofed theatre inside the city, in Blackfriars.
    James Burbage had a long history as a theatrical entrepreneur. In 1576 he built the first successful amphitheatre, known as The Theatre, in a London suburb. Twenty years later, when the lease on The Theatre's land was about to expire, he built the Blackfriars as its replacement. But the wealthy residents of Blackfriars got the government to block its use for plays, so his capital was locked up uselessly.


4. What did Shakespeare's company use to build the Globe ?

  • It was built by two brothers, Cuthbert and Richard Burbage, who inherited its predecessor, The Theatre, from their father, James.


5. Who built the Globe ?

  • Half the shares in the new theatre were kept by the Burbages. The rest were assigned equally to Shakespeare and other members of the Chamberlain's Men (the company of players who acted there), of which Richard Burbage was principal actor and of which Shakespeare had been a leading member since late 1594.


6. When the Globe was built , there were two other theatres in Southwark already. Which ones ?

  • The Theatre had closed, ostensibly for good, in 1597, and the owner of the land on which it stood threatened to pull the building down once the lease had expired. The Burbages and their associates anticipated the threat, however, and in late 1598 dismantled The Theatre and carried the materials to Bankside (a district of Southwark stretching for about half a mile west of London Bridge on the south bank of the River Thames).
    Without The Theatre, the company had to rent a playhouse. Then at the end of 1598 they decided to build one for themselves. The shortage of cash made the consortium reluctant traditionalists, giving up the idea of an indoor theatre in the city and using the old Theatre's timbers and therefore the same basic auditorium shape for the new building. The old playhouse was one of their few remaining resources. They could not use it in situ because the lease had expired, so they dismantled it and took the timbers (illegally) to make the skeleton of their new amphitheatre. The Globe was a cut-price and fortuitous construction.
    6. When the Globe was built , there were two other theatres in Southwark already. Which ones ?

  • The Swan and The Rose


8. How and when was it destroyed ?

  • In 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, the thatch of the Globe was accidentally set alight by a cannon, set off to mark the King's entrance onstage in a scene at Cardinal Wolsey's palace. The entire theatre was destroyed within the hour.


9. When was it rebuilt ?

  • By June 1614 it had been rebuilt, this time with a tiled gallery roof and a circular shape.


10. When was it finally pulled down ? Why ?

  • It was pulled down in 1644, two years after the Puritans closed all theatres, to make way for tenement dwellings.


11. Explain how acting at the Globe was like.

  • Acting at the Globe was radically different from viewing modern Shakespeare on screen.
    The plays were staged in the afternoons, using the light of day. Therefore, all references to weather or time of the day had to be given to the audience through the text.
    The audience surrounded the stage on all sides. No scenery was used, except for occasional emblematic devices like a throne or a bed. It was almost impossible not to see the other half of the audience standing behind the players. Consequently much of the staging was metatheatrical, conceding the illusory nature of the game of playing, and making little pretense to stage realism .
