THE GLOBE THEATRE
RICHARD BURBAGE
The Globe was an infamous theatre from the Elizabethan era, mostly because of Shakespeare's hold of its shares and works produced within.
Despite being lcoated in the poverty-stricken area of Southwark, the theatre attracts people of all classes. Additionally, its circular structure and theatrical nature caused its form to be circular and concentric.
Within, audiences pay for seatings in different prices. The poorest stood in the yard, while the richest flaunted their wealth on the stage's balcony. Although the fundamental structure is of its era (in the half-timbered style), classical-style ornaments are used as an attempt to raise its reputation and class.

The Colosseum sets a good example for a classical theatre. Similar to the Globe, its concentricness allows for an all-round view of the center pit/stage. The audiences are seated by class, but prices are relative to how good the view of the stage is. The facade shows a complete collection of the classical orders.
