Dramaturge Findings.

My name is Leah Cooke, and I am the head dramaturge. on Wednesday I studied Shakespeares' interactions with the Queen (Elizabeth the First), the globe theater, and random things about Midsummers Nights Dream. Here are some big facts I've found.

• Shakespeares troupe acted in front of the Queen twice; Christmas, 1594, at Greenwich palace, and Christmas, 1597, at Whitehall palace.
• Noble men and Royalty did not go to the globe theater, so Shakespeare's troupe would come to them.
• Midsummers' Night Dream did not have any known historical references.
• The Globe theater could hold several thousand people
• a flag was on top of the Theater: a red for comedy, white for tragedy
• it cost one penny to stand in the pit
• the next floor up would cost 2 pennys, and then the top floor had two places; a "gentlemans' room" which cost 4 pennys, and a Lords room which was for the very rich.
