Background Information:
- The Lord Chamberlain’s Men’s had lost their lease on Blackfriars Theater in 1597 and had no place to perform their plays
- Shakespeare's plays were very popular in the Queen Elizabeth's times. They made many productions of them like Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet and Henry V.
- In the theater they didn't have bathrooms. If you needed the use of a rest room they would use a bucket.
- Where you would sit in the theater said a lot about your social status
- This all takes place in the Elizabethan Era that experienced the rise and fall of play houses
- 1591 the growing popularity of theaters led to a law closing all theaters on Thursdays so that the bull and bear bating industries would not be neglected
