Shakespearean Theatre refers to the theatrical performances that took place during the late 16th and early 17th centuries in England, primarily associated with the works of playwright William Shakespeare. These performances were held in venues like the Globe Theatre, where audiences enjoyed a mix of tragedy, comedy, and history plays, often featuring elaborate costumes and minimal sets. The theatre of this era was characterized by its use of male actors, as women were not allowed to perform on stage. Performances relied heavily on language, with rich dialogue and poetic forms, allowing the audience to engage their imagination. The atmosphere was lively, with spectators often interacting with the actors.
