  1. Romeo and Juliet

    William Shakespeare
  2. The Globe Theatre and William Shakespeare

  3. Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre www.nosweatshakespeare.com/shakespeare_globe www.onlineshakespeare.com/globe.jpg
  4. The Globe Location, location, location Not in central London Why you ask? The theatre was outside the jurisdiction of a disapproving central London bureaucracy... That means it was in a “bad” part of the city across the Thames River called Southwark. It attracted everyone including Queen Elizabeth even though it was “illegal.” The Globe opened in 1599 with Julius Caesar. In 1644, the Puritans tore it down and burned the foundation. Plays were considered “evil.”
  5. The Globe To watch the show, it cost anywhere from a penny to six pence One penny= yard (ale and beer) Two pennies=seat in high gallery Three pennies=better view in seat Six Pence= near or on the stage Lord Chamberlain's Men Actors…boys and men only. Boys played women parts because their voices haven’t changed. Tiered galleries around the open area accommodated the wealthier patrons who could afford seats, the lower classes aka 'groundlings' stood around the platform stage during the performance of a play.

  9. Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare took the idea of Romeo and Juliet from an Italian poem The whole play is centered around young love. It was so successful R and J was written in 1594 Takes place in Verona, Italy, in 1302 Romeo is about 17 and Juliet is about 13
  10. Romeo and Juliet In one of Shakespeare's most memorable scenes, Romeo steals into the garden and professes his love to Juliet, who stands above on her balcony. The two young lovers, with the aid of Friar Laurence, make plans to be married in secret. With the famous balcony scene underway… the rest is history…
  11. William’s Timeline… 1564.            Born at Stratford-upon-Avon, about 100 miles from London. 1582.            Marriage to Anne Hathaway, 8 years his senior. 1585-1592.    "The Lost Years." No official records of Shakespeare exist, but several legends claim it was during this period that he was caught in a poaching incident. This incident evidently forced him to flee to London where his career took off. 1592-1593.    Theatres in London close due to the plague. Shakespeare appears to have written poetry and sonnets during this period 1594                Lord Chamberlain’s Men is formed. Shakespeare is a company actor as well as its full-time playwright. It becomes London’s premier acting company.
  12. …Timeline Continued 1594-1599.    A very productive period. Shakespeare wrote prolifically, prospered financially and made a real estate investment in his hometown of Stratford. 1599.         Made a principal shareholder in the Globe playhouse, the prestigious public playhouse in London. 1603.            Lord Chamberlain’s Men becomes the King’s Men, receiving royal patronage from England’s new King – James I (formerly James IV of Scotland) 1607.            The King’s Men is granted permission to take over the indoor theatre, the Black friars. The tone of Shakespeare’s plays switches from the dark and somber mood of his tragedies to a lighter mood of magic and romance. 1616                His death from an illness, the nature of which is uncertain.

  16. Romeo and JulietAnticipation Guide Some things are fated to happen, and we have no control over them. Why do you agree or disagree with this statement? Family feuds only harm the families involved. Who else could they harm as well?How about innocent bystanders who happen to get in the way of violent conflict? Love at first sight is possible. If you say yes, give me some examples of “instant loves” that have lasted and stood the test of time. (Try and go beyond peers and celebrities and maybe look at your parents’ or grandparents’ generations that started with “love at first sight” experiences. Men should be ruled by their passions. Do they think the way women think? When it comes to matters of love, trust your feelings. Do you trust your instincts? Do you trust your brain “says” or your heart “says?” If you do, why? If you don’t, why?
