Across the Thames River, St. Paul's Cathedral looms large. Scholarly significance: The structural similarities between the Bankside theaters and bear-baiting arena are significant. The first purpose-built playhouses in Elizabethan London were modeled on preexisting animal baiting arenas (bull and bear), and the two forms of entertainment were in fierce competition with one another. A 1591 law actually mandated the closing of public theaters on Thursdays, to protect the economic interests of animal baiting promoters. One of the later purpose-built theaters, the Hope, was a hybrid arena that hosted plays on some nights and animal baiting shows on others. Not surprisingly, given the competing interests, the venture proved unsuccessful.

Title A name given to the resource Sketch of Interior of Swan Theater Subject The topic of the resource Theater--England--History--16th century Theater--England--History--17th century Swan Theatre (London, England) Stage history Description An account of the resource This sketch purportedly represents an interior view of the Swan Theatre, from the vantage point opposite center stage at roughly eye level with the roof (tectum). It depicts a raised proscenium stage jutting out prominently into the groundling gallery space, such that the stage seems to be deeper than it is wide. The stage, on which a few actors appear to be rehearsing, is supported by two columns. At the rear of the stage are two separate entrances from the tiring-house (mimorum aedes), where actors kept props and changed costumes between scenes. Directly above the tiring-house, there are six windows or gallery spaces, populated with either musicians or well-to-do spectators. This vertical structure exceeds the height of the theater roof. From its top-most story, a musician is blowing his horn, which would have signaled the start of the theatrical performance. The flag flying from the very top of this structure features a swan.

In the left-center of the frame stands a polygonal three-story structure with a flag flying from the top of the building. This public playhouse is either the Theatre or the Curtain; there is no general consensus, however, as to which is more likely.

Title A name given to the resource A 'ghost' awaits his cue Subject The topic of the resource Theater--England--History--16th century Theater--England--History--17th century Ghost (Fictitious character : Shakespeare) Description An account of the resource Description: In this illustration, a 'ghost' prepares to ascend the ladder and appear on stage via the trapdoor. Two young apprentices mechanically operate the trapdoor, which slides back and forth on specially constructed grooves. Aside from the ghost and apprentices, numerous wooden posts support the stage from below. Scholarly Signifiance: This illustration provides a view of "Hell," the conventional Renaissance theatrical term for the area directly beneath the proscenium stage. Among the numerous Renaissance plays that make use of this Renaissance stage machinery/special effect, perhaps Shakespeare's Hamlet and Marlowe's Doctor Faustus are the two best known.
