Theatre
Until mid-16th Century, most plays were performed outside London
Craftsmen / Tradespeople put on traditional plays and on village greens
As it grew in size and importance, more people went to the theatre
The first theatre built in London was called The Theatre
Other theatres included The Rose 1587, and The Swan 1595, The Blackfriars, and The Globe
The Globe Theatre
Shakespeare’s Works
At least two of his plays have been lost, 38 survive
Two of the surviving plays (King Henry VIII and Two Gentlemen of Verona) were supposedly co-written with John Fletcher
The other 36 plays are divided into comedies, tragedies, and histories
