The Shakespeare Theatre.

For centuries the sonnets and plays written by William Shakespeare have filled people with delight due to the depth of their philosophic insight and the strength of their emotions.

There is no record why Shakespeare left Stratford except for the fact that he became a member of a theatrical company in 1590, first as an actor and later as a playwright.

The humble (низкий) status of an actor is clear from such names of theatrical companies as "Lord Chamberlain's Men" or "The King's Men". Actors were on the same level as servants. Plays were performed in the banqueting halls of palaces. Only in 1576 the first playhouse - a theatre - was built for public performances.

The theatre was always built a long distance from the centre of a town. It was of a circular or oval shape and had no roof. Balconies lined the walls. The stage gave out into the auditorium. Theatergoers watched the plays standing in the stalls. Well-to-do people used to sit on the edge of the stage. A theatre company in those days was not very numerous. The smallest companies usually consisted of 8 actors, but there were bigger companies too, up to 14 persons. Female roles were performed by men. Richard Burbage, one of the best actors of the century, played at the Globe.

The plays written by William Shakespeare, the greatest English playwright of all times, were famous already during his lifetime. The majority of his writings were published then. And now there isn't a country in the world that hasn't attempted to stage his plays. Shakespeare's plays have become a school of drama and actors' interpretation. Shakespeare always spoke of noble emotions.
