  5. The Reconstructed Floor Plan • This is based on the archaeological findings of the original Globe. • This is also the floor plan of the new Globe in England.

  6. A Misconception About The Globe • This is based on an early belief that the Globe is an eight sided theatre. • The belief was common and not until recently did anyone challenge this.

  7. The Galleries • The galleries are the sections were wealthy people would sit to watch a play. • There are three levels of galleries, which cost more money the higher one goes.

  8. The Yard • The yard is the area where most of the audience stands to watch a play. • It costs a penny to watch from the yard. • The yard slopes downward towards the stage.

  9. The Globe’s Stage • This is a recontruction of the Globe’s stage. • It is a square and it protrudes into the audience. • The stage is bare and it leaves a lot to the imagination.
