The Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre
"The whole world is a playhouse
Totus mundus agit histrionem"


A Brand New Source of Entertainment
   Come one; come all! For only one denarius you can get away from your regular soul crushing, disease ridden, depressing, half-life and engage in activities for everyone! Whether you're looking to experience the fine acts put on by the theatrical company "Lord Chamberlain's Men", watch routine and well-orchestrated animal cruelty, or engage in some shady business, the Globe Theatre is for you!

Plays
    The Globe Theatre offers a variety of Shakespearean plays, with Hercules as its' first. Viewing of all plays only costs one denarius for basic standing seating and extra denarii can be spent to ensure your comfort and all your needs tended to. So come stand with 3,000 others and enjoy an experience like no other!

Bear-Baiting
    This one goes out to all you sadists not understanding something like this is morally wrong. Be sure to try and make money through betting as you watch once lovable dogs attack bears and risk their lives simply for your enjoyment! This is truly a fantastic spectacle and you should not at all be ashamed of seeing such acts.

Brothels
    Due to the fact that we're located in Southwark, we tend to attract some of the seedy type. With this in mind, come visit our brothels where you can pay us top dollar to not feel as lonely! If you are a bit upperclass, do not be turned away! We assure you, our workers are considered the best of Southwark, so come on over and enjoy all of our services. 
Now it seems what I was talking about got lost on some of you. To be blunt, I'm talking about the prostitution that was going on in the Globe Theatre.

  1. I actually had no idea that senseless animal murder happened at the Globe Theater. It's fun facts like this that I think really spice up a blog.

  2. I didn't know that the Globe Theater was used for more than plays.

  3. WOW! I wish I lived in the Elizabethan Era so that I could've visited this amazing top-of-the line theater! I would've really enjoyed watching the bear-baiting show, because it sounds so enjoyable! Thank you for providing this descriptive information to really fuel our thirst for knowledge!

  4. The odd thing is that the seating for the theater got more expensive the higher the seat was. While that seems to make sense, the higher you sat the farther from the stage you were, and the less likely it was that you could hear.

  5. I never knew "bear-baiting" was a thing, that's weird.
