What would it be like to watch a play at the globe theater

The area was surrounded by market stalls offering food, drink, and merchandise. The place had a bawdy festival like atmosphere.

Commoners and nobles alike arrived early to enjoy the naughty atmosphere. Actors performed short previews outside on the green.

When plays weren’t being performed at the theatre, other shady activities such as bear-baiting, game fighting, and gambling were offered on the site.
