A Shakespeare PLAY in Shakespeare's DAY.

For those of you who have seen MUCH ADO, you may recall CSC uses a thrust stage. This means the play can be seen by the audience on three sides. In Shakespeare's time, the audience was also on three sides of the stage, however, a large portion had to stand at the foot of the stage. Those theatergoers were known as groundlings.

Artist David Heatley created this awesome visual peek into the Elizabethan Stage. Enjoy reading it and seeing what it would have been like to see MUCH ADO in the 1600s!
