• Actors first began performing to the public in inn yards. The first theatre was built by James Burbage. It was simply called the Theatre. Burbage's son Richard became the country's leading actor who played a lot of parts in Shakespeare plays.

• The Elizabethan Theatre usually was a round building with the stage in the centre open to the sky with a central area for a standing audience. People bought seats in the galleries round the sides. If the weather was too bad, there was no performance.
