7 When did Theatre as we in the West know it, really get started? English Renaissance Theatre – 1600’s What made this particular period so interesting? First time theatre was not restricted to the court People of all social classes mixing The idea of meeting in public – and being SEEN in public Sharing stories EVERYONE attended

8 Why do people continue to study theatre from this time? Many reoccurring themes A good story is a good story The Renaissance of literary ideas like Tragedy and Comedy With things like film, why is the theatre still such a powerful form for story-telling? It is different when it is done in person A good play FEELS, SOUNDS and LOOKS very different then a good movie A play has very different THEATRICAL ELEMENTS

11 It has been surmised that Shakespeare did not actually write this stuff… Why? Because it was published 7 years after he died. He did not go to school He did not own a single book. He was not that famous while he was alive!

12 Why exactly do people ALWAYS focus on Shakespeare? The stories are classic! They pop up EVERYWHERE. He has influenced just about every writer / actor who has ever lived. Why do ADOLESCENTS have such a hard time studying Shakespeare? The language – it’s 400 years old They tend not to see it as “Entertainment”

14 In “Shakespearian English” (i.e.: lots of stereotypical description) describe what happened to you as you came to school this morning. Proper language! Blank Verse – IAMBIC PENTAMETER Finish with a RHYMING COUPLET Be prepared to present your piece to the class!

16 “There are separate galleries and there one stands more comfortably and moreover can sit, but one pays more for it. Thus anyone who remains on the level standing pays only one English penny: but if he wants to sit, he is let in at a farther door, and there he gives another penny. If he desires to sit on a cushion in the most comfortable place of all, where he not only sees everything well, but can also be seen then he gives yet another English penny at another door. And in the pauses of the comedy food and drink are carried round amongst the people and one can thus refresh himself at his own cost” http://www.globe-theatre.org.uk/globe-theatre-audience.htm
