Plays and Acts
•  
• Famous actors from Elizabethan time are:
•  
• William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
•  
• Christopher Beeston (1570 - 1638) etc.
•  
• There were two diverse types of playhouses indoor ones and outdoor too.

• This a modern-day theatre:

•  
• Yes, the playhouses differ from present day theatres because now a theatre will “run” a play
for weeks, months or even years which is much longer than back in Elizabethan times.
•  
• In those times the top seats were the most luxurious seats ever. Meanwhile now in 2018 the
most expensive seats are the fronts.

had a lot of good weapons such as a rapier and had enemies
very close to her such as her half sister.

era and in the 21st century today are very different from each
other and while conducting all of this information my
knowledge about the Elizabethan era has increased from
before.
