Development of the Elizabethan Theatre
5 слайд
Wandering Minstrels
Before the 1500's there were no such thing as a theatre in England! There were wandering minstrels who travelled from one town and castle to the next, some street players who entertained people at markets and fairs. The troubadours, strolling players and minstrels were expected to memorize long poems and these recitals were included in their repertoire.
6 слайд
The Acting Troupes
Many of the wandering minstrels, or strolling players, had the reputation as thieves. The spread and frequent outbreaks of Black Death during the Elizabethan era resulted in regulations restricting all people who travelled around the country - licenses were required to travel. Licenses were granted to the nobles of England for the maintenance of troupes of players.
7 слайд
The Inn-yards
Acting troupes had their patrons but the actors could make additional money by playing to ordinary Elizabethans. The Elizabethan Theatre started in the cobbled courtyards of Inns, or taverns - they were therefore called Inn-yards. As many as 500 people would attend play performances.
8 слайд
The Inn-yards
Elizabethan Inns were always popular and were at their peak between 1576 – 1594. A small fee was charged to playgoers as they entered the inn yards and an additional fee was added on if they wanted to go up to a balcony level.
The names of some famous Elizabethan Inn Yards were:
The Bell Savage Inn
The Cross Keys Inn
The White Hart Inn
The George Inn
