Macbeth
By: Celine Khalife
Shakespeare's Globe Theater
Performers in the Globe Theatre It was rough for the performers.
Because girls could not act, young boys had to play girls. Yet,
they still would not change their outfit for each play. The
performers used big, flamboyant gestures so the people in the back
could see. The actors only received their lines, so they had to
rehearse in the tiring house. This happened because back then, they
did not have copyright. They could not have the whole script in one
place or someone could make it their own. Furthermore, the plays
could not be performed at night, because the globe does only use
natural lighting. If the audience did not like the actor or the
play, they would throw food at them. I feel very bad for all of the
actors back then. They had it harder than most actors nowadays.

We are in Scotland; it is in the Medieval era. He kills Duncan,
the old king. The witches prophesy that Macbeth will be the new
king. Because Lady Macbeth convinced him to do it all, she is very
guilty. After that, Macbeth goes back to the witches and they say
that he will be king forever unless the trees move, and the person
who tries to kill him is not born out of a woman.
