  Read about Shakespeare’s theatre and choose the picture that describes it best.
  
  The poor people stood up and the rich people sat on the wooden seats that formed the large round theatre.
  Unlike today, the audience were never quiet – they shouted, booed and cheered all the way.
  There were no lights, so plays were performed in daytime only, normally just after lunch.
  Girls were not allowed to act on stage, so even the female roles were played by boys in dresses.
  Actors wore the clothes of the day, with wigs and make up.
  Plays had exciting special effects. There were ghosts, witches, loud bangs, flames and smoke, drums, and even cannons.
  In 1613, during Shakespeare's play Henry VIII, a cannon set fire to the straw in the roof. The Globe burned down.
