http://www.bard.org/SectionAbout/theatres.html
Our Theatres The Utah Shakespearean Festival's two main theatres are world-renowned for their ambiance and technical superiority. Adams Shakespearean Theatre
The Adams Shakespearean Theatre, dedicated in 1977, was designed by Douglas N. Cook, Festival producing artistic director, along with Max Anderson of the Utah State Building Board, and is patterned after drawings and research of sixteenth century Tudor stages. Experts say it is one of a few theatres that probably comes close to the design of the Globe Theatre in which Shakespeare's plays were originally produced. It is so authentic, in fact, that the British Broadcasting Company filmed part of its Shakespeare series there. It is named for Grace Adams Tanner, a major benefactor of the Festival, and her parents, Thomas D. and Luella R. Adams. It seats 819, plus 66 gallery-bench or standing-room seats. Randall L. Jones Theatre
The Randall L. Jones Theatre, dedicated in 1989, was designed by the firm of Fowler, Ferguson, Kingston, and Ruben, with theatrical design by the California firm of Landry and Bogan, as well as Cameron Harvey, Festival producing artistic director. It was built at a cost of $5.5 million, to expand the Festival's offerings, especially in the area of world classics, and was featured in the August 1990 edition of Architecture magazine. The theatre is named after a Cedar City native known as the father of tourism in southern Utah. It seats 769. Box Office Gift Shoppe

Shakespearean theatre-going was a very different experience from visiting the theatre today. All types of people would have been crowded into the theatres (the Globe had a capacity of around 3000), and the playhouse would have been filled with the smells and sights of sixteenth century England. People would have booed and hissed, and the play often came secondary to showing off your new hat. For Elizabethan Londoners, however, it did not matter so much if they didn't hear all the words in the play - the acting would have been exaggerated, so that even if you couldn't hear, or didn't understand all the words, you could still follow the basic plot of the play. ~ Home ~ The New Globe, in London's Southwark.

Atmosphere The playhouse was a busy place, and everyone from apprentices to royalty would have been crowded in to see the plays. People in the Shakespearean theatre used their voices to show their opinions in a way we would not do now, and they would have booed, cheered, laughed and shouted towards the stage, depending on their opinion. They also may have thrown missiles at the stage, to make the play start faster, finish faster, or even sometimes to get the play changed to a different one. You had to beware of cutpurses and pickpockets at the theatre, especially with the close crush of people - each person had an estimate of 45 cm in which to stand or sit. ~ Home ~ The site of Shakespeare's Globe, on Park Street in Southwark.

Introduction to the Elizabethan Era I Shakespearean Theatre
(from the AATI 1996 drama workshop facilitated by Johnny Saldana) Historical Background 1. Provide an overview of the times, perhaps focusing on period clothing for women and men through slides or plates from books on period costume/fashion. Point out the "eccentricities" and how fashion statements in the mid 1500s-early 1600s may have parallels to today's statements.
2. Discuss how clothing of the aristocracy would restrict and change everyday movement, such as sitting in a chair, posing, rising, and walking around the room.
3. Practice bows and curtsies. Simulate a member of royalty visiting England and have everyone bow/curtsey to the visiting dignitary. Acting on the Elizabethan Stage"Dumb Shows" 1. Show a picture of the de Witt sketch, or a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre. Discuss how the Elizabethan stage would place particular demands on the actors. What would they have to do physically and vocally to perform under the conditions of the theatre at that time period?
2. Discuss "dumb shows." If possible, see the dumb show in the video Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in which the story of Hamlet is performed in 5 minutes without words.

William Shakespeare
During the period between 1585 and 1592 it is reasonable to assume that Shakespeare was doing various "grunt" work in the theatre, gaining the experience he would use in the years to come. By 1592 he had gained notoriety as an actor and playwright. Some-time during 1595 he joined the Lord Chamberlain's Men as both an actor and shareholder. In 1599 the troupe and Shakespeare had built the Globe Theatre and established it as their home theatre. From that point on Shakespeare wrote exclusively for that troupe. Shakespeare and his troupe gained the favor of both Queen Elizabeth and King James. Return to main menu
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
Owned by the Burbage family, the Globe Theatre was an open-air public playhouse built in 1599 in Southwark, a suburb of London, when after losing their lease the actors tore down their old theatre, The Theatre, and carried the planks across the frozen Thames. It gained fame as the home of William Shakespeare's theatrical company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men. Shakespeare was a shareholder in both the theatre and the company, and most plays written by Shakespeare after 1599 were performed there. The Globe burned in 1613 during a performance of Henry VIII when a cannon was shot and the thatched roof caught on fire. It was rebuilt the following year and stood there until it was demolished in 1644.

Macbeth Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued against The deep damnation of his taking-off; And pity, like a naked new-born babe Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubin horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air, Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye That tears shall drown the wind. Shakespearean Theatre Before Shakespeare¹s time and during his boyhood, troupes of actors performed wherever they could in halls, courts, courtyards, and any other open spaces available. However, in 1574, when Shakespeare was ten years old, the Common Council passed a law requiring plays and theaters in London to be licensed. In 1576, actor and future Lord Chamberlain's Man, James Burbage, built the first permanent theater, called "The Theatre", outside London city walls. After this many more theaters were established, including the Globe Theatre, which was where most of Shakespeare's plays premiered. Performances took place during the day, using natural light from the open center of the theater. Since there could be no dramatic lighting and there was very little scenery or props, audiences relied on the actors' lines and stage directions to supply the time of day and year, the weather, location, and mood of the scenes. Shakespeare's plays masterfully supply this information . For example, in Hamlet the audience learns within the first twenty lines of dialogue where the scene takes place ("Have you had quiet guard?"), what time of day it is ("'Tis now strook twelf"), what the weather is like ("'Tis bitter cold"), and what mood the characters are in ("and I am sick at heart").

36. John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor Reviews
Fluent, incisive, meticulous, faithful to fact Michael Morrison charts thisactor's distinguished contribution to shakespearean theatre tradition.
http://www.shakespearean.com/Reviews.htm
Advance Praise Michael Morrison has done the impossible. He has written an exciting, colorful Barrymore book, without resorting to old wives' tales and innuendo. Truth in his lively retelling is indeed stranger and far more satisfying than fiction. -James Kotsilibas-Davis, author of Great Times Good Times: The Odyssey of Maurice Barrymore
" ... a fresh perspective of the extraordinary man, John Barrymore. Fluent, incisive, meticulous, faithful to fact - Michael Morrison charts this actor's distinguished contribution to Shakespearean theatre tradition. Richly researched with a superb, sustained quality of writing. The fascination is endless." -William Luce, author of the play Barrymore
"Michael Morrison's most readable study vividly recreates act-by-act the Shakespearean art of one of America's most charismatic and influential modern stage actors." -Margot Peters, author of The House of Barrymore
Winner of the 1998 Special Jury Prize for Distinguished Achievement for an Outstanding Book in the Area of Theatre Studies, Theatre Library Association
Reviews "Few performances of Shakespeare in this century broke as much new ground as Barrymore's 1922 version of 'Hamlet,' a galvanic production that almost single-handedly dragged the English-speaking world's understanding of the Bard into the modern age. The astonishment felt by critics and audiences in America and England is expertly evoked by Michael Morrison in his engrossing book 'John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor,' which not only offers scene-by-scene descriptions of Barrymore's performances . . . but puts Barrymore's acting feats into historical, cultural, and biographical context. . . . 'John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor' is a book that should delight theatre scholars [and] the general reader as well."

Shakespeare in India page 2
Early English productions
Chronologically, the account must begin with productions of the most obvious and culturally uncomplicated sort, in 'garrison theatres' catering to the British colonists. Theatres were built in the major centres of trade and empire, and Shakespeare provided a prestigious part of the repertory. Shakespeare performances by English troupes in Mumbai (Bombay) date from 1770. In Kolkata (Calcutta), then the capital of British India, the earliest recorded performance is of Othello at the Calcutta Theatre in the Christmas season of 1780. Over the next eight years, the same venue saw Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, Richard III and Henry IV . Performances continued till the mid-19 th century, chiefly at the Chowringhee and Sans Souci Theatres. Touring companies become prominent only in the heyday of the Raj, from the late 19 th century. The earliest notable tours were by the Lewis Theatre Company in the 1870s and Maurice E. Bandmann's Company in the 1880s. One event stands out in retrospect. In August 1848, Baishnab Charan Addy, an Indian actor, played Othello at the Sans Souci Theatre, Kolkata. Notices in the English press ranged from the patronizing to the offensive or hostile. Yet many Indian accounts, then and later, have seen the event as a cultural statement, even a cultural triumph, of the colonized Bengali.
