Theater Differences

There are many differences between Shakespeare theaters and now a day theaters. One of the differences is that we can watch plays indoors. The biggest difference would be now we can watch plays any time of the day. Another would be we have good seats to sit in most of the peasants had to stand in front of the stage. In today’s plays there are intermissions so you can stretch and get food, back then there were not intermissions. Back then the theaters had dirt floors and if it rained they would get drenched, losing their money to go home or watch the play in the rain. The groundlings were not treated nice, but now people that come to plays are quests and are treated nicely.
