| Just like the original, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre has a thrust stage that projects into a large circular yard surrounded by three tiers of steeply raked seating. Plays are staged in a manner close to the original -- during daylight without spotlights, speakers or microphones. All music is performed live on period instruments. Here Pam is at a production of "Romeo and Juliet" as a 'groundling' -- an audience member standing in the courtyard. The theatre holds 700 groundlings plus 1,380 sitting. |
