Shakespeare Rival

Elizabethan Society

- The Elizabethan society was the time period of Queen Elizabeth 1. This time period was known as the Golden age in English history. The Elizabethen society was a popular time of English Poetry and Literature. At this time the Elizabethan theatre was flourished and William Shakespeare and many others composed plays that broke free of England’s past style of plays and theatre.

There were also problems in the society that was the battlae between the Protestants and catholics and the Parliament and the Monarchy that engulfed the 17th century.

 

The Globe Theatre

-  The Global Theatre was built in 1519 and was associated with William shakespeare, it was built by William shakespeare’s company, the Lord Chamberlains Men, but unfortunately it was destroyed  by a fire  June 29th 1613 A second Globe Theatre was rebuilt on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642

A modern theatre of the Globe, named Shakespeares Globe opened in 1997. It is approximately 230 metres 750 ft from the site of the original theatre

King Chamberlains Men

- This was a company made by William Shakespeare as a actor and a playwriter for most of his life career. It was made at the time of Queen Elizabeth 1 the Elizabethen society. Lord Chamberlain was in charge of court Entertainments.

 

My Groups Play

- My group play was on a play made by Shakespeare called Macbeth, i think my goup could have improved on our play if we practised our work more physically instead of just reading it then acting it out straight away. My group and i werent so confident because of not knowing the play and not practised it 100 %.

Tragedies , comedies, histories of shakespeare

- A tragedies play by shakespeare play by William Shakespeare can be Macbeth. A romance can be Romio and Juliet. Histories play of William Shakespeare would be Raphael Holinshed.

Revalaence to Shakespeare Plays to the 21st Century

- I think that shakespeare’s plays are still used in education and heaps of other things in the 21st century because it keeps us aware on the language they used at the time and also shows us how they acted in their time period and what it means. And some plays of Shakespeares are modernised because the language in the play cannot be understood by people of the 21st century so its probably good to study the way they spoke then.
