Exercise 8

The Globe Theatre

Visiting the theatre in London 400 years (1) … was very different from visiting a

modem theatre. The building was round, (2) … was no roof, and people got cold

and wet (3) … the weather was bad. The queen loved (4) … to the Globe Theatre,

by the River Thames, to see the plays of William Shakespeare. All the actors at that

time (5) … men. The visitors ate talked to (6) … friends, walked about during the

show, and (7) … people even threw things at the actors!

Today, it is still possible to visit the Globe Theatre. A new theatre stands in the

same place (8) … the river. You can enjoy a Shakespeare play there or just learn

(9) … life of the seventeenth century.
