so here is some facts about the globe:

• Elizabethan theatres attracted huge crowds - up to 3000 people
•  Shakespeare and his company built TWO Globe Theatres!
• The Globe theatre started building in 1597 and it was finished in 1598
• There was no heating in the Globe theatre. Plays were performed in the summer months and transferred to the indoor playhouses during the winter
• to show what plays were on the flags were erected on the day of the performance which sometimes displayed a picture advertising the next play to be performed.
• Colour coding was used to advertise the type of play to be performed - a black flag meant a tragedy , white a comedy and red a history.
