Visiting theatre in London 400 years ago was very different from visiting a modern theatre.
The building round, where was no roof, and people got cold and wet when the weather was bad. The queen loved going to the Globe Theatre, by the River Thames, to see the plays of William Shakespeare. All the actors at that time were men. The visitors ate, talked to their friends, walked about during the show, and some people even threw things at the actors!
Today, it is still possible to visit Globe Theatre. A new theatre stands in the same place by the river. You can enjoy a Snakespeare play there or just learn about life in the seventeenth century.
