Hello steemit friends...
Painting and sculpture were not the only arts to be revolutionised by the Renaissance. theatre also changed, not least with the arrival of the period's most famous playwright, William Shakespeare.
In Europe, medieval theatre was mostly morality plays and stories from the Bible, which followed a fixed formula. around the middle of the 16th century,new plays began to person stories of romance, tragedy, and adventure based on classical myths, history, and even current events. The new plays were extremely popular. everyone from poor labourer to rich merchants and nobles flocked to the new theatres, and the most famous actors were even invited to court to perform for royalty.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre....
The late 16th and early 17th centuries saw many great playwrights emerge. by for the most famous is English writer William Shakespeare. his plays were so successful that, in 1599, his theatre company way able to build a permanent playhouse in London; the Global theatre.a copy of his theatre stands near the original site today.
The stage....
Three doors led from the tiring house on to the stage. Actors could also arrive through the audience,or through trapdoor in the stage floor. The roof was painted with stars, to represent the heavens.
Stories on stage...
For thousands of years, human beings have used theatre to share stories and ideas. The Ancient Greeks built some of the earliest theatres. they divided plays into two types.
Tragedy...
Serious stories in which the heroes and heroines suffer and often die at the end are called tragedies. they often explore the way honour, justice, or fate can force us to against our personal feelings.
Comedy....
These plays use humour to tell a story, although not always a happy one. some versions, known as satire, use comedy to point out weakness or bad behavior, especially in those in power.
theater design....
plays can be performed almost anywhere. from open streets to Tiny Studios. most take place in buildings designed to allow the audience to see and hear the actors, and to make the scene seem as realistic as possible.
Ancient Greek Theatre...
This design uses a curve of seats to reflect sound. even a whisper from the stage can be heard by the whole audience.
In the round...
Travelling actors in medieval Europe often set up a stage surrounded by the audience on three or even four sides.
Proscenium arch...
Modern theatres often have an arch to frame the action on stage and keep the audience separate.
