  1. Trang - Y/A probably diverted you here, to Home Theater Electronics, where the discussions are centered around technical home theater system electronics and operational questions. Go to Y/A 'Categories' and browse through the over 100 forums and sub-forums.  You will find a forum much more suitable for this question than here, one where the participants are interested in your question and may have knowledge that will help.


  2. How is this an Electronic - home theater question?

  3. Wow, that's not much to go on, but I would say various sizes & shapes of lumber (2 x 4's, 1 x 2's, 4 x 8 pieces of thin plywood), some fabric, paint, nails, paper mache, ...  the following is from a website:

    http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/globe-...

    The Building materials - Timber, nails, stone (flint), plaster and thatched roofs. Later amphitheatres had tiled roofs

    The Builders of the Globe - The Globe was built by carpenter Peter Smith and his workers and was the most magnificent theater that London had ever seen. It was built between 1597 -1598.

    The stake holders of the 'Theatre' included William Shakespeare and Richard Burbage

    Globe Building Duration 6 months to build the structure

    The Shape of Elizabethan Theaters such as the Globe were often Octagonal structure or circular in shape having between 8 and 24 sides

    Lighting - Natural lighting as plays were produced in the afternoon. However there was some artificial lighting mainly intended to provide atmosphere for night scenes

    Heating - There was no heating in the Globe Theatre. Plays were performed in the summer months and transferred to the indoor playhouses during the winter

    Toilets - None! People relieved themselves outside. Sewage was buried in pits or disposed of in the River Thames.

    The Grounds of the theatre were filled with stalls selling a variety of take-away foods and beverages!

    The Globe theatre was also used for gambling and prostitutes plied their trade within the confines of the Globe building and grounds! Fights also broke out amongst audience members adding to the enetertainment available!
