The Elizabethan Theater was a popular form of entertainment during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in England. It was characterized by its open-air amphitheaters, such as the GLOBE Theatre, which was built in 1599 and was one of the most famous venues for plays and performances. The GLOBE was a circular building with three levels of seating and a stage in the center. It was the home of William Shakespeare's plays and other works of the time.
