Four important facts about performances at the Globe Theatre: The Globe was built as a large, round, open-air theatre. There was a roof around the circumference which covered the seating area. The Globe had three stories of seating and was able to hold up to 3,000 spectators in its’ 100-foot diameter. Part of the stage was called the “apron stage” – a rectangular platform that thrust out amongst the audience into the pit. A trumpet was sounded to announce to people that the play was about to begin at the Globe Theatre in order for people to take their final places.
Two important facts about iambic pentameter: Iambic pentameter mimics the human heartbeat in its rhythm often to symbolise that the words being spoken are from the heart, hence the tradition for using them in Sonnets.
Iambic pentameter must always contain only five feet, and the second foot is almost always an iamb. The first foot, in contrast, often changes by the use of inversion, which reverses the order of the syllables in the foot.
