Introduction
Elizabethan theater was the age of Shakespeare. The style he employed was a wide combination of inspiration from other plays and his seemingly never ending literary prowess. Here I would like to explore the realm that Shakespeare made such an impact on: Theater. This educational site will hopefully guide you through what the theaters of his time were like.
William Shakespeare's plays are known for their extraordinary literary value and clever word play, but beyond being good stories, they are in fact plays to be staged and acted out. London's theaters saw many different troupes come and go, but "The Kings Men" and William Shakespeare made a lasting impact on the theater scene. This website will guide you through some of the important Shakespearean stages and give you a glimpse into what these theaters were like as crowds bustled in to see Macbeth or Hamlet.
